Tooth removal, also called tooth extraction, is a dental procedure where a dentist carefully removes a tooth from its socket in the jaw. This procedure is necessary when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or causing overcrowding in the mouth. In children, tooth removal may also be needed if baby teeth do not fall out naturally, making room for permanent teeth to grow properly. Tooth extraction can be simple (for teeth that are visible and easily accessible) or surgical (for teeth that are broken, impacted, or not fully grown).

Tooth removal is a safe and common dental procedure that is essential for maintaining oral health, especially in children and adults with damaged or problem teeth. It not only relieves pain and prevents infection but also supports proper tooth growth, alignment, and overall confidence in a healthy smile. With proper aftercare, the area heals quickly, allowing for a smooth recovery and better oral health.
