Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. It can be necessary for many reasons. Sometimes, a tooth may be damaged, decayed, or crowded. Other times, tooth extraction for wisdom teeth is needed because they can cause problems for other teeth. Extracting molars is also common, especially if they are impacted. For children, tooth extraction may be needed to make room for braces as part of orthodontic treatment. In fact, tooth extraction for braces is often a key step in achieving a straight smile.
