Teeth are extracted for several reasons:
Decay has reached deep into the tooth.
Infection has destroyed a large portion of the tooth or surrounding bone.
There is not enough space for all teeth.

Many dentists recommend extracting impacted teeth that are only partially erupted. Bacteria can enter around teeth and cause infection, which may spread to the bone and become extremely serious disorder. Impacted teeth continue trying to break through the gum tissue even if there isn’t enough room for them. The continued pressure caused by this attempted eruption can eventually damage the roots of adjacent teeth. The extraction of an impacted tooth can often prevent infections and damage to adjacent teeth and bone, and save pain in the future.

How are Teeth Removed?
Before removing a tooth, the dentist will thoroughly review your medical and dental history, and take appropriate radiographs.
X-rays reveal the length, shape, position of tooth and surrounding bone. From this information, your dentist can estimate the degree of difficulty of the procedure and decide whether to refer you to a specialist called an oral surgeon.
Before extraction, the dentist will numb the area around the tooth. By using a local anesthetic that numbs the mouth area where the extraction will be performed.

For a simple extraction, once the area is anesthetized, the tooth is loosened with the help of a tool called an elevator and then extracted with dental forceps. You may want to flatten and reshape the underlying bone. Once finished, decide whether to close the area to a point.
