When do your teeth need to be removed?

Bad teeth: Whenever you have irreversible disease. This can be signaled by breakage, pain or recurrent infection. The best plan is to have regular check ups with a dentist and they will let you know when it's time to lose a tooth or two.

Depends: The most common indications for removal of teeth are when they cannot be treated and/or restored, or if the cost of treatment is not cost effective. Decay and periodontal disease are two of the most common causes. Other indications may include impacted teeth, malpositioned teeth and/or teeth indicated for removal as part of an orthodontic treatment plan.
