Tooth extraction is an extreme measure in modern dentistry that promotes caries prevention and tooth-preserving technologies. Yet, the loss of at least one dental unit is fraught with serious functional and aesthetic problems. For example, the removal of a sixth molar is extremely undesirable, because it is very important for chewing food. Unfortunately, not all patients understand that and continue to delay visit to a dentist which can lead to serious consequences.
There are many reasons for tooth extraction, but the most common are chronic infections. For example, a running tooth cyst, when a gingival fistula has already appeared, threatens with serious complications. If such a tooth is not removed in time, the infection will spread further and further. Severe tooth damage with caries, when it cannot be restored, is also an undoubted indication for removal.
