What is tooth extraction?

Also known as: tooth removal, pulling teeth.

A tooth extraction is just another way to say that a tooth is removed, or pulled, from the mouth. This can be done for several reasons. Some of the more common ones include a broken tooth, a badly decayed tooth or a tooth that is blocking other teeth from coming in.
