Tooth extraction, also known as tooth pulling, is a dental procedure that involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jaw bone. Tooth extraction is often necessary when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or infected. It can also be necessary to extract a tooth to make room for orthodontic treatment or to prepare for the placement of dental implants.
In the past, tooth extraction was a common procedure. However, with the advent of modern dentistry, tooth extraction is now only necessary in cases where the tooth cannot be saved. There are a number of different ways to extract a tooth, and the method that is used will depend on the location and condition of the tooth.
