Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. Though dentists strive to preserve natural teeth, sometimes extraction is the best or only option to protect your oral health.

Common reasons for extraction include:

• Severe tooth decay or infection

• Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth

• Gum disease affecting the supporting bone

• Overcrowding (especially before orthodontic treatment)

• Cracked or broken teeth beyond repair

There are two types of extractions: simple (for visible teeth) and surgical (for teeth broken at the gumline or impacted). Both are done under local anesthesia to ensure minimal discomfort. Post-extraction, patients may experience mild pain or swelling, which typically resolves within a few days. Dentists provide aftercare instructions, including:

• Avoiding hard or hot foods for a few days

• Not smoking or using straws (to prevent dry socket)

• Taking prescribed medications and using cold compresses

Once healed, it's important to consider tooth replacement options (like implants, bridges, or dentures) to maintain proper bite function and prevent other teeth from shifting. While tooth extraction may sound intimidating, it's a safe and common procedure that can relieve pain and set the stage for better oral health.
