Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves the removal of a tooth from its socket in the maxillary or mandibular bone. Although it is preferred to keep the teeth whenever possible, in some cases it is necessary to extract them in order to maintain oral health and avoid major complications.

Tooth extractions are performed for a variety of reasons, and some of the most common situations include:

• Advanced Caries
• Severe Periodontal Disease
• Impacted or impacted teeth
• Irreparably Fractured Teeth
• Baby Teeth in Children
• Dental Alignment Problems
