Tooth extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth from its socket in the jaw. It's done by dentists or oral surgeons for various reasons like severe decay, infection, crowding, or prep for braces.
There are two main extraction types: simple and surgical. Simple extractions involve visible teeth and are quicker. Surgical extractions involve impacted teeth (stuck under the gum) and require more effort, sometimes needing gum or bone tissue removal.
During the procedure, you'll get local anesthesia to numb the area. The dentist loosens the tooth and removes it with forceps. Stitches might be used to close the gum tissue. Recovery typically involves pain management, swelling reduction, and avoiding certain foods.
