The permanent tooth in our mouth is meant for lifetime, but in some instances extracting the tooth will be the only option left. One of the most common reasons for extraction is grossly destructed tooth near to the gumline due to trauma or decay. In many cases when the tooth decay extends deep to the pulp of the tooth, usually root canal treatment is done to save the tooth, but in some conditions, the infection is so severe that root canal treatment fails to cure and hence extraction will be the only resort to prevent the further spread of infection. Oral surgery is a dedicated branch in dentistry specializing in tooth extractions/ wisdom tooth removal and other minor and major surgical procedures. Tooth extraction in Dubai at Versatile dental clinic is performed by highly specialised dentists having years of experience.

Periodontal disease (Gum disease), in this condition there will be infection of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth leading to mobility of the tooth, and hence the dentist may need to extract the affected tooth. In an overcrowded mouth during orthodontic treatment or braces therapy, the dentist will have to remove the teeth to create appropriate space for proper alignment. These are the reasons where teeth extractions are commonly indicated.
There are certain scenarios, where the tooth will fail to erupt and gets impacted or blocked within the bone, due to lack of space, in this case the dentist will have to split the soft tissue and trim the bone and gently remove the impacted tooth.
