Extraction

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It is typically required when a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be restored. Dentists may also recommend extractions to alleviate persistent pain, treat infections, or prevent overcrowding and misalignment. This procedure helps maintain overall oral health and prevent further complications. Extractions are usually performed under anesthesia to ensure patient comfort, with a focus on minimizing discomfort and supporting a smooth recovery. Proper aftercare is crucial for preventing infections and promoting healing.
