Tooth Extraction: All you need to know

Tooth removal is a procedure in which infected, crowded or decayed teeth are removed. You may also need to remove it when you go under chemotherapy, organ transplant, or while getting braces so that they can be adjusted in the mouth. This procedure is mainly done by giving anesthesia to the patient so that no pain or discomfort can be felt during the procedure. The important fact is that removing front teeth is easy, but broken or impacted teeth require extra effort.
