• A tooth has decayed to the point where treatment is not beneficial
• A tooth has the potential to cause further disease of the gums & surrounding teeth
• A tooth is impacted or fractured beyond repair
• It is necessary to make orthodontic corrections or remove poorly-positioned teeth
• Infection has overtaken the tooth and cannot be treated properly

While it may be necessary to remove normal teeth, wisdom teeth may present further challenges. Since wisdom teeth can grow in at odd angles and put pressure on healthy teeth, removal is typically recommended. These teeth are located at the back of your mouth behind your molars and are typically considered “extra teeth” that serve no true purpose. However, these teeth can become trapped under the gums or become impacted, which can adversely affect your oral health.
