Extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, or causing crowding or infection. Extractions can be simple (removing a visible tooth with minimal effort) or surgical (requiring an incision in the gum, often for impacted teeth).
extraction is a common and safe procedure, complications such as infection, excessive bleeding, nerve damage, or dry socket can occur if proper care is not followed. Maintaining good oral hygiene, following post-extraction instructions, and avoiding smoking or alcohol consumption during recovery significantly reduce the risk of complications
