Tooth extraction, also known as dental extraction, is a procedure that involves removing a tooth from its socket in the bone. There are several reasons why tooth removal may be necessary, such as if a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be repaired with a restoration or if extraction is needed in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Tooth extraction may sound intimidating and painful, but your dentist will take steps to ensure that you are comfortable during the procedure. You may be given an anesthetic to numb the area or be put to sleep to ensure that you do not feel any pain. It is normal to feel some soreness after the extraction, but the procedure is often done to prevent further pain or discomfort. It is important to take good care of your teeth and gums to maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.
