Tooth Extraction

Extraction is the option chosen when saving a tooth no longer seems possible. Dentists prefer extraction only as a last resort.

When a tooth cannot be saved, removing it from the mouth without damaging surrounding tissue is called tooth extraction. In this procedure, the tooth is removed from its socket in the bone with the help of medical instruments.
