Tooth Removal
Extracting or "pulling" of a tooth is often performed on a dying tooth that cannot be treated. When a tooth is badly damaged or has a large amount of decay, the nerve and pulp may begin to die. Procedures such as root canals can sometimes remove the dead material and nerve, allowing you to retain the tooth. If a root canal isn't possible, the tooth will usually need to be pulled. Extraction may also be used to remove impacted teeth. The procedure to to first make an incision to fold back the gum, the tooth is removed and sutures are then used to close the incision.
