Experiencing persistent tooth pain? It might be time to consider tooth extraction. While the idea of having a tooth removed can be daunting, understanding the process and benefits can ease your concerns. At our dental practice in Laguna Hills, CA, we prioritize your comfort and dental health. Here’s what you need to know about teeth extractions and how they can help relieve pain and prevent further oral health issues.
A tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It is typically performed by a dentist or an oral surgeon and is necessary when a tooth is damaged beyond repair due to decay, disease, or trauma. Extractions are also done to resolve overcrowding or to remove wisdom teeth that may cause future dental issues. The procedure varies from simple extractions, which involve removing visible teeth, to surgical extractions, which require incisions because the tooth may not have erupted fully or is broken under the gum line. The goal of tooth extraction is to alleviate pain, prevent further oral health complications, and pave the way for additional dental treatments, such as implants or orthodontics, to ensure long-term dental health and functional alignment.
