An Extraction is the process of removing a single or multiple damaged or infected teeth. Extractions become necessary when: a tooth has become decayed and is beyond repair, when there is advanced bone loss, or for orthodontic purposes. Extraction is often necessary to prevent infection from spreading to other teeth or bodily tissues.
Extractions are carried out either as a surgical procedure or a less complicated procedure using forceps and local anesthesia. The type of procedure depends on your dental health and severity of problem. Sometimes it is necessary to break a tooth into several fragments to make the process of extraction easier and less painful. Once a tooth has been extracted, the gap can be easily refilled by an implant.
