TOOTH REMOVAL/TOOTH EXTRACTION

Tooth extractionTooth extraction involves completely removing a tooth from the mouth. People may require tooth extraction for many reasons, ranging from tooth decay to crowded teeth A dentist or dental surgeon will perform the extraction in their clinic and then give the person some instructions for caring for the area as it heals. During the appointment, the dental surgeon will inject a strong anesthetic into the area around the tooth to prevent the person from feeling any pain. They will then use a series of instruments to loosen the tooth before pulling it out. After removing the tooth, they will place gauze over the extraction site to help control bleeding and promote clotting.
