A tooth extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth from the gum socket.This
procedure is typically performed by a dentist or oral surgeon when a tooth is
damaged ,infected or causing other dental issues.In this ,there are two types of
tooth extraction: simple extraction,where the tooth can be easily removed,and
surgical extraction,which is more complex and may involve cutting into the gum
or bone to remove the tooth.
After a tooth extraction, maintain oral hygiene by rinsing with antimicrobial
mouthwash, avoiding direct brushing over the extraction site.Adhere to prescribed
medications, including antibiotics and pain relievers.Avoid strenuous activity for at
least two days.
