When Should a Tooth Be Removed?
There are three main reasons a tooth should be removed: infection, gum disease, and crowding in the mouth.

Infection – When tooth decay goes unchecked, the center of the tooth (called the pulp) can become infected with bacteria. If caught in the early stages, it can be treated with antibiotics, a filling, or root canal therapy. But if the tooth cannot be saved, it needs to be removed. An extraction is to remove the problem tooth, but also to protect the rest of your mouth and your body from infection. Patients with compromised immune systems may need to get a decaying tooth pulled to eliminate even the risk of infection that their body cannot fight off.
In advanced gum disease, teeth become loose in their sockets and sometimes fall out. If the support structure is too badly damaged, the affected teeth need to be removed.
Crowding – When your mouth has too many teeth, sometimes it is necessary to remove one or more teeth to make room for others to grow in and to avoid impaction. Another reason to remove select teeth is to prevent alignment or bite problems that occur when teeth shift positions to make room for erupting teeth. Extractions are also done to prepare for orthodontics and to maintain proper alignment after orthodontic
