Tooth removal

Extraction of a tooth is a surgical operation in dentistry to extract a tooth unit from the dental alveolus. It is performed using special tools (forceps and extractors) when conservative treatment is not effective, which makes the tooth impossible to save.

Experts distinguish between planned and emergency tooth extraction. The planned ones include dental extractions, which contribute to the correct formation of a permanent bite in children, the elimination of defects that affect the traumatization of soft / hard tissues in the oral cavity, etc. Emergency operations include medical manipulations aimed at preventing the development of inflammatory processes or other serious pathologies from the problematic periodontal area, which can lead to serious violations of the patient’s health, including death.
