Tooth Extractions
Sometimes, for reasons ranging from decay to tooth positioning, extraction becomes necessary. At our Oxnard clinic, before opting for extraction, our dentists conduct a thorough examination to explore all possible alternatives, ensuring the decision is in the patient’s best interest. Though essential at times, extractions can affect jaw joint functionality and cause teeth to shift, potentially impacting overall oral health.

Reasons for Tooth Extraction
Common reasons for tooth extraction include wisdom teeth removal, advanced tooth decay, or preparations for braces. Teeth severely affected by decay or periodontal disease may need removal. But a tooth’s extraction can have repercussions, from jaw joint issues to the potential shifting of other teeth. Our Oxnard team prioritizes patient health, always discussing potential alternatives.
