However, if these efforts are not viable, tooth extraction could be provided. Individuals could also require an oral extraction to get rid of teeth that won't easily fit into their smile, such as the third molars, which commonly grow in between 17 – 21 years old. In older children, baby teeth that have not come loose might have to be extracted to create space for new teeth.
