Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions refer to the surgical removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed by a dentist or oral surgeon to address various dental issues, such as severe damage, decay, infection, crowding, or impacted teeth. Tooth extractions may be necessary to alleviate pain, prevent further complications, or improve overall dental health. The process involves numbing the area with local anesthesia, loosening the tooth with specialized tools, and carefully extracting it from the socket. Following the extraction, patients may experience some discomfort or swelling, but proper care and medication can help manage any post-operative symptoms.
