Tooth extractions are a common dental procedure used to remove a tooth that is badly damaged, decayed, infected, or causing crowding issues. The goal is to protect overall oral health and prevent further complications. Before the procedure, your dentist carefully assesses the tooth and surrounding area to ensure the safest and most comfortable approach.

The extraction is usually performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. After removal, proper aftercare is important to support healing and reduce the risk of complications. Most patients recover within a few days, and your dentist may discuss replacement options if needed to restore function and appearance.
