Tooth extraction /removal

A dental extraction is a procedure to completely remove damaged, unrestorable teeth from your mouth. This procedure is only required if your damaged tooth is beyond repair; leaving a damaged tooth in the mouth will likely cause more problems in the future.
All dental extractions require a recent x-ray of the tooth to assess the roots of the tooth to determine how easily the tooth can be removed.
Procedure

Anaesthetic is given to numb the area of the affected tooth before the extraction is done. During the extraction, you might feel the pressure of the tooth being removed but you will not feel any pain because of the anaesthetic. Most simple extractions only take a few minutes
