If you have a tooth that has been damaged or is beyond restoration, the next suggested treatment may be to extract (remove) the tooth. This may be the best option to prevent damage to neighbouring teeth, or deeper issues such as inflammation or infection, and subsequent severe dental pain. Our dentists will talk you through the options available to you at any consultation. If you think you might need a tooth extraction, please give us a call on 01935 840784 to book an appointment or send an email to office@ilchesterdental.co.uk

Why Are Teeth Removed?


There are numerous reasons why a tooth may require extraction. From tooth decay to gum disease, whether an unrestorable tooth or you suffer from crowding, tooth extraction is a common treatment, with a variety of causes.

If it is decided that tooth extraction may be the best option for you, we will work with you to ensure you are adequately prepared. We’ll check your dental and medical history to ensure there are no hurdles with regard to medicines or other factors. Most importantly, we will work with you to ensure you rest at ease before, during, and even after any extraction. We welcome any and every question – no query is too small, if it gives you the peace of mind we seek for our patients.
