Extractions
Dental extractions refer to the removal of one or more teeth from the mouth. This is typically done when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or infected beyond repair, or when there is not enough space in the mouth for all of the teeth. Dental extractions may also be performed to prepare for orthodontic treatment or to remove impacted wisdom teeth. The procedure involves numbing the area around the tooth and using specialized instruments to carefully loosen and remove the tooth from its socket in the jawbone. After the extraction, patients may experience some discomfort and swelling, but with proper care, the area should heal within a few days to a week.
