Dental Extraction
Alternative Names: Tooth Extraction; Tooth Removal
A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth that cannot be adequately repaired or preserved. For a severe cavity, extraction may be needed when decay has extensively damaged the tooth or caused an infection that cannot be treated with a filling or root canal. The procedure removes the affected tooth, relieves pain, and prevents the infection from spreading. The missing tooth may later be replaced with an implant, bridge, or partial denture.
