Safe, gentle removal of teeth that cannot be saved.
A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. It is done when a tooth is too damaged or infected to be repaired, is causing crowding, or is an impacted wisdom tooth causing problems.
The area is numbed with local anaesthesia so that you feel pressure but not pain. Simple extractions are usually quick, while impacted teeth may need a minor surgical approach.
At Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar, your dentist explains the procedure, the aftercare, and the options for replacing the tooth if needed.
