Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is often necessary for several reasons, including severe tooth decay, periodontal disease, overcrowding, or impaction, particularly with wisdom teeth.
Before extraction, the dentist will conduct a thorough examination, which may include X-rays to assess the tooth’s condition and its roots. Patients are typically given local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free experience. In some cases, sedation may be used to help patients relax, especially during more complex extractions.
