Woman with Tooth Pain Needing Tooth Extraction

A tooth extraction is often called “pulling a tooth” because it refers to completely removing a tooth from it’s socket. It has often just one step of a multitude of dental procedures such as getting dentures, implant, or emergency care. Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common types of extractions, as these third molars do not have enough room to grow in properly. Tooth extractions often can be completed in less than an hour with local anesthesia to ease your pain and quickly get you relief.

A dentist may recommend a tooth extraction before you are even experiencing pain as a precautionary measure, such as when there is not enough space for wisdom teeth to grow in.
