Description

A dental surgical extraction is a procedure performed by a dentist or oral surgeon to remove a tooth from the mouth. This procedure is typically done when a tooth cannot be easily extracted using simple techniques such as pulling with forceps. There are several reasons why a dental surgical extraction may be necessary: Impacted teeth: When a tooth is unable to erupt properly through the gum tissue due to being blocked by other teeth or tissue, it is referred to as an impacted tooth. Wisdom teeth are commonly impacted and often require surgical extraction. Severely damaged or decayed teeth: Teeth that are extensively decayed, broken, or fractured may need to be surgically extracted if they cannot be restored with fillings, crowns, or other dental procedures. Crowded mouth: In cases where there is not enough space in the mouth for all of the teeth to properly align, some teeth may need to be removed to alleviate crowding and prevent dental problems.
