Extraction, AKA Pulling Teeth. Provided by Yardley Dental care, Yardley, Pennsylvania.

What are the reasons to have your dentist Extract Teeth?

• Dentists may need to extract teeth to prepare the mouth for orthodontia Braces or Invisalign; this is particularly the case in teens. If you have crooked teeth, orthodontia may be necessary, and braces may be needed to align the teeth.
• Another reason for needing an extraction is , if a tooth cannot break through the gum (erupt) because there is not room in the mouth for it,. This is often the case with wisdom teeth that need to be pulled. Wisdom teeth are also referred to as "third molars," sometimes these teeth are extracted before they even "come in" other times, your dentist may suggest pulling these wisdom teeth after they come in.

To follow-up after a dental extraction, your dentist will provide you with a list of items to do and not to do. Once your extraction is completed, ask your dentist at Yardley Dental Care any questions, you may have.
