Extraction of tooth is the procedure that includes removal of decayed or infected tooth under local anesthesia . Tooth extraction is a dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. It's typically performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or causing crowding issues. The procedure may involve local anesthesia to numb the area, followed by the careful removal of the tooth using specialized instruments. After extraction, the area is often treated to promote healing, and options for tooth replacement may be discussed depending on the specific case.
