Tooth Extraction or Impaction

Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves removing a tooth from its socket in the bone. This may be necessary due to severe tooth decay, infection, crowding, gum disease, or trauma. Extractions can be simple, involving loosening and extracting a visible tooth, or surgical, requiring cutting through the gum tissue in more complex cases. The goal is to relieve pain, prevent infection, or prepare the tooth for orthodontic treatment.

Surgical extraction of wisdom tooth called impaction. Tooth impaction occurs when a tooth fails to fully emerge through the gums or align properly in the mouth. This happens when there is not enough space in the jaw, the tooth grows in the wrong direction, or it is blocked by another tooth, bone, or soft tissue.
