Description

Teeth removal, or dental extraction, is a procedure to remove a tooth from its socket, often because it's too damaged, decayed, or infected to be saved. It's performed by a general dentist or an oral surgeon using local anesthesia to numb the area. The procedure can be a simple extraction, or a surgical one for impacted teeth. Aftercare involves biting on gauze to control bleeding and may include stitches. Common reasons for extraction include deep infection, severe gum disease, trauma, and poorly aligned teeth.
