What Is Teeth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is carefully removed from the mouth. This may be necessary when a tooth is severely decayed, infected, damaged by trauma, impacted, or causing issues for surrounding teeth and gums.
When appropriate, removing a problematic tooth can help reduce discomfort, limit the spread of infection, and allow the surrounding tissue to heal. Dr. Esha Dhanju evaluates all possible treatment options and recommends extraction only when it is the most suitable solution.
