Tooth extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth from the socket. It can be of two types, surgical and non-surgical. Before the extraction process, your dentist may take a full mouth X-ray to determine the proximity of the tooth to the nerve. This information is used to decide the type of extraction and the level of difficulty. Your dentist will guide you through every step of the process and make sure you are comfortable during the procedure. Don’t worry, tooth extraction is a common dental procedure, and your dentist will take the necessary precautions to ensure it is performed safely and with minimal discomfort.
