Exodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the extraction of teeth. Tooth extraction is one of the most important services that is offered by dental specialists. Getting a tooth pulled is a nightmarish, worst case scenario. Although it may seem like a last resort, living with a tooth that is damaged beyond repair is not only painful, but also poses a serious threat to your oral and general health. Indeed, removing a bad tooth paves the way for healthier teeth and gums.

 

An extraction means to have the tooth removed from its socket in the bone, usually because of a disease, trauma or crowding. Generally, a tooth extraction is the only choice left when the damage to the tooth is too extensive, and when no other dental treatment or procedure can save the tooth. Yes, getting the tooth pulled is not the best option but the only option when it cannot be saved. If you are in pain from an abscessed tooth, do not try to put it off. Opt for a tooth extraction!
