Extractions

A tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a tooth is removed from the socket in the jaw bone. This may be done for a variety of reasons such as infection, decay, or overcrowding. It is usually performed by an oral surgeon or general dentist and can be done under local or general anesthesia depending on the complexity of the extraction. After the tooth is removed, a blood clot will form in the socket and the area should be kept clean and free of pressure to allow for proper healing.
