  • When having orthodontics, teeth may need to be removed to create space..
  • Patients with Cancer that are undergoing radiation therapy may need to have teeth removed proactively.
  • Wisdom teeth are often extracted. They commonly come in during the ages of 18 to 25. The wisdom teeth sometimes are impacted and do not come in at all. They need to be removed if they are decayed or cause pain. Some wisdom teeth are crowded by other molars or may not have enough room to come in all of the way.
