Tooth Extraction
The extraction of teeth is a minor surgical procedure performed by removing a tooth from the socket in the jawbone due to various reasons determined by the dentist, such as:
- Severe tooth decay reaching the nerve of the tooth that cannot be saved.
- To facilitate orthodontic treatment.
- Teeth damaged from accidents such as falling or impact, that cannot be repaired or have broken roots.
- Teeth that are dead and infected.
- Issues related to tooth positioning, like wisdom teeth, impacted teeth, or non-functional teeth.
- Severe gum infection and inflammation.
- Baby teeth not falling out at the appropriate time, inhibiting the eruption or positioning of permanent teeth.
