What Are Tooth Extractions?
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth that is too damaged, decayed, or infected to be saved. Extractions may also be recommended for overcrowding, wisdom teeth issues, or to prepare for future treatments like implants or orthodontics. While it may sound intimidating, modern techniques and anesthesia make extractions safe, comfortable, and efficient.
