Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or cannot be restored with other treatments. Removing a problematic tooth helps relieve pain, prevent the spread of infection, and protect the health of surrounding teeth and gums. When performed by an experienced dentist, tooth extraction is a safe and comfortable procedure. At Bharat Dental Clinic, extractions are carried out using modern techniques with a focus on patient comfort and faster healing.
About Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction may be recommended for extensively decayed teeth, advanced gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, fractured teeth, or to create space for orthodontic treatment. After a thorough examination and digital X-rays, the dentist determines whether a simple or surgical extraction is required. Following the procedure, proper aftercare is essential for smooth healing and preventing complications.
