In what cases is surgical tooth extraction necessary?

Surgical tooth extraction is generally necessary in the following situations: If the tooth is blocked from coming out. Impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth, are surgically removed. If the tooth is severely decayed or fractured, or if decay has progressed to the root level, surgical intervention may be necessary. If the root structure of the tooth is abnormal or if there are extra roots, surgery may be necessary instead of a simple extraction. Teeth associated with cysts or tumors should be surgically removed to ensure complete clearance. Surgical extraction is also performed when the tooth is causing an untreatable infection. Some teeth may also be surgically extracted to ensure proper alignment before orthodontic treatment.
