It can be pretty daunting to think of getting a tooth extraction – Here’s what to expect.

Having a tooth completely removed by a dentist can be done at one appointment or over a few sessions if more than one tooth needs to be taken out. You may choose to replace the missing tooth or it may be necessary to do so. Your dentist will explain all the options available to you. Keep in mind that your options may differ from what’s described here as personal dental care is designed to meet your individual needs. The Texas City Dental in Texas City is conveniently located near t La Marque, Galveston, and Hitchcock area is conveniently located near to the HEB, and the ROSS market complex has the best orthodontists available near you.

There are a number of reasons why your teeth may need to be extracted. Some of the most common reasons include.

• Severe gum disease (periodontal disease): This is caused by bacteria building up on your teeth and damaging the bone that holds them in place. The teeth become loose and will need to be removed professionally.
• Tooth decay: If a tooth is very decayed, its nerves and blood vessels can die, leading to a painful abscess. 
• A broken tooth: If it can't be repaired it will need to be removed. 
• Crowded teeth: If you have a small jaw or lost your milk (baby) teeth early, your teeth may be crooked and you may need to have one or more removed so the rest can be straightened. 
• Wisdom tooth problems: If there isn't enough space in your mouth for your wisdom teeth they may become impacted (stuck behind the tooth in front) and need to be removed. They may also need to be removed because of recurring infections.
