What Is an Extraction
An extraction is a process used to remove a tooth from its socket in the gum. A regular dentist, an oral surgeon, or a periodontist typically performs it.It is a common dental procedure performed for various reasons, including severe tooth decay, gum disease, overcrowding, trauma, or impacted wisdom teeth. Extractions can be simple, involving the removal of a fully erupted tooth, or surgical, requiring an incision to access impacted or partially erupted teeth. Dentists or oral surgeons perform extractions using local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure patient comfort.It's a painless encounter! For about a day, patients experience some soreness and discomfort, after that, they will feel normal.
