How it's performed: Tooth extraction. A tooth extraction is a dental procedure during which your tooth is completely removed from its socket. * First, local anesthesia is given to numb your affected tooth and surrounding gum tissue. * Using specialized dental instruments, your dentist will gently loosen your tooth and carefully lift it from its socket. * Sometimes, your dentist might need to make incisions in your gums to access your tooth — especially if your tooth is badly decayed or has broke

🦷Tooth issues are a pain, but how do you know it’s time to pull the tooth? Dentist, Dr. Howard Ong, DDS, MAGD, explains what to lookout for and what to consider if it is time for an extraction.
