Gentle Tooth Removal for Lasting Relief

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a damaged or infected tooth is removed from the mouth. It is typically done when a tooth cannot be repaired due to severe decay, infection, or overcrowding. The process is usually performed under local anesthesia to numb the area, and in some cases, sedation may be used for more complex extractions. After the tooth is removed, patients are given aftercare instructions to manage pain, swelling, and ensure proper healing. Recovery time varies, but most people heal within a few days to a week. Proper oral hygiene and follow-up visits are important to prevent complications such as infection.
