Tooth extraction or tooth removal can be necessitated by a variety of reasons such as ;

Overcrowded teeth - a tooth can be removed to create room for alignment of teeth during orthodontic. Extra-large teeth can hinder good alignment of the teeth in the month hence a dentist can recommend the removal of some for effective orthodontics. If a tooth fails to erupt through the gum due to lack of enough space in your mouth for it, a dentist can recommend pulling it. Tooth extraction for braces fitting is common to help with teeth overcrowding.

Infection - when the pulp( centre of the tooth containing blood vessels and nerves) is infected and the root canal can’t treat the infection, tooth extraction is recommended to prevent the infection from spreading to other teeth.

Periodontal (Gum) Disease: When an infection has affected support for the tooth or teeth beyond reasonable possible repair the tooth or teeth can be extracted.
