Extractions & Wisdom Tooth Removal

Tooth extraction is necessary when a tooth is severely decayed or damaged beyond repair. It is also performed when there is overcrowding in the mouth, or when a tooth becomes infected. Wisdom tooth removal is common, especially for teenagers and young adults, as the third molars (wisdom teeth) can cause problems such as pain, infection, or misalignment of the other teeth. The extraction procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort, and recovery typically takes a few days.
