Extraction

Extraction

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is removed from its socket in the bone. This is usually done when a tooth is severely damaged by decay, infection, trauma, or crowding, and cannot be repaired.

Extractions are performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort, and the procedure can be simple or surgical, depending on the tooth's position and condition. Post-extraction care is essential for proper healing, and your dentist or oral surgeon will provide specific instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
