Why are extractions needed?
Are you suffering from a toothache? It may be a sign of underlying infection and disease. In some cases, this may require a tooth extraction to prevent risks to your health.
Do you still have your wisdom teeth? Wisdom teeth extractions are common and Dr. Dooley will help you understand whether your wisdom teeth pose a risk to your dental health.
Are you experiencing chronic headaches or jaw pain? Broken down or infected teeth may contribute to headaches and pain in your jaw. If other treatments don’t work, an extraction may provide relief.
