Dental extractions
Dental extractions, also known as tooth extraction, refer to the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed by a dentist or oral surgeon when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or causing other dental issues.
Dental extractions are generally safe and well-tolerated, and the recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the extraction and the individual’s healing process. Proper aftercare is crucial to minimize discomfort, promote healing, and prevent complications such as infection or dry socket. Dental extractions are performed as a last resort when other dental treatments are not viable options.
