Dental extraction, commonly known as tooth pulling, is a procedure performed by dentists to remove a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It is typically done when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or infected and cannot be repaired or saved through other means.
Tooth extraction can provide several benefits, including eliminating pain and discomfort caused by a damaged or infected tooth, preventing the spread of infection to other parts of the mouth or body, and making room for orthodontic treatment or the placement of dental implants.
