Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a common procedure performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons to remove a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This may be necessary for various reasons, including severe tooth decay, advanced gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, or to make space for orthodontic treatment. Before the extraction, the area is anesthetized or numbed using local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience. For more complex cases or anxious patients, sedation options may be available. Following the extraction, patients are provided with aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent complications. Tooth extraction can alleviate pain, prevent further dental problems, and restore oral health.
