Extractions

Dental extractions are the last resort in severe cases.

Total tooth removal is also a used to prevent misalignment of teeth or facilitate procedures like installation of braces or dentures. In extreme cases, when pain is unbearable or tooth decay has caused total damage to the tooth, you may require to extract or pluck out the infected tooth. Extremely decayed or fractured tooth also need to be removed.

Milk teeth fall out by themselves often painlessly. But permanent teeth may cause much pain and damage before being plucked out. Wisdom teeth can cause unusual amounts of pain as they fall and may require plucking. Sometimes, irreversibly damaged teeth that cannot be cured by any procedure are simply extracted.
