Tooth extraction is the removal of a damaged, decayed, or problematic tooth that cannot be saved through other treatments. This procedure relieves pain, prevents the spread of infection, and maintains oral health. Extractions may be necessary for impacted wisdom teeth, severe decay, or overcrowding before orthodontic treatment. Modern techniques ensure the procedure is safe, efficient, and minimally uncomfortable. Proper post-extraction care promotes healing and prepares the mouth for future restorative solutions if needed.
