At Forest Hills Dental, our two most important priorities are to help you keep your smile healthy and maintain your natural teeth. But sometimes, it’s not possible to do that unless we remove a problematic tooth.

It is your dentist’s goal to protect your teeth and take whatever measures are necessary to ensure their health. There are some cases, though, in which the tooth simply cannot be saved. If this is the case, an extraction may be the only option. You also may end up with wisdom teeth that erupt later in life and begin to cause problems with your healthy teeth. If this is the case, a tooth extraction will be recommended.

Dental extractions help to prevent further infection, reduce pain, and keep surrounding teeth safe. If you are experiencing pain in your tooth, set an appointment with Forest Hills Dental to see what your options are. If the tooth is beyond repair, Dr. Gregory Mark can perform a tooth extraction in Forest Hills. If wisdom teeth need to be removed, Dr. Mark is able to remove them safely and with ease.
