Do you have persistent pain in your tooth that won't go away? Chances are it's damaged or infected, and you may need a tooth extraction. As the name suggests, tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves the removal of a tooth.Â
On this page, Dr. Celso Seretti of Seretti Comprehensive Dental wants you to learn more about tooth extraction and what it entails.
Tooth extraction is a relatively straightforward process in which Dr. Seretti and the team will pull your tooth out from its socket. Typically, the procedure is used as a last resort by when dentists can't salvage your tooth. Here are scenarios when tooth extraction is necessary:
There are two forms of tooth extractions offered by Dr.Seretti:
Simple Extraction: In this process, Dr.Seretti will remove a visible tooth on the surface. You will be given an anesthetic to minimize pain and sensation during the process.
