What is dental extraction?

Dental extraction is the removal of a baby or permanent tooth.

Simple extraction – simple extraction is performed on a tooth that is above the gum line. This makes it easier for the dentist to wedge the tooth out of the bone for quick and easy removal.

Why dental extractions?

It may seem concerning to remove a natural tooth. However, there are conditions which may occur within a child’s smile that may make it a smart decision to move forward with an extraction. When baby teeth are not coming out on their own and are causing adult teeth to fail to erupt, extractions may be necessary. Others may have teeth removed to prepare for orthodontic work.
