What is and Why Do I need a Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in your mouth.
There are multiple reasons why your dentist may perform a tooth extraction. Here are a few reasons why:
- Your wisdom teeth may be impacted, causing you discomfort and pain
- Baby teeth sometimes don’t fall out in time to allow the permanent teeth to come in, causing your teeth to shift
- Teeth may be extracted from someone getting braces to create room for the teeth to shift into the correct position
- Infected teeth due to tooth decay may be causing other health issues
- Damaged or broken teeth may have too much damage to be repaired
- A very loose tooth may also require extraction if it can’t be saved

Who can perform a Tooth Extraction?
At The Smilist Dental, you can feel reassured with our highly experienced & trained dental professionals who can perform tooth extractions.
For a simple tooth extraction that can be seen, general dentists usually perform these procedures. They use a dental instrument known as an elevator to loosen the tooth and forceps to extract the tooth.
For a surgical tooth extraction, like a wisdom tooth extraction, an oral surgeon performs these highly specialized procedures. When a tooth has broken off at the gum or is hidden in the gum, the oral surgeon would make an incision in the gum to expose the tooth and extract it.
