surgical extraction

Surgical extraction is a dental procedure used to remove a tooth that cannot be easily taken out with simple methods. It involves making an incision in the gum tissue and sometimes removing small amounts of bone to access the tooth. The goal is to carefully remove the tooth while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure comfort. It's often necessary for impacted, broken, or severely decayed teeth, and the dentist or oral surgeon follows specific techniques to ensure safe, effective removal.
