The removal of a tooth from the mouth is called a dental extraction. Extractions are very common are made as painless as possible, though for complex procedures a specialized oral surgeon will be recommended.
Extractions are beneficial for a number of reasons, such as removing:

• Tooth structure rendered non-restorable due to tooth decay
• Impacted, problematic, or fractured wisdom teeth
• Extra teeth altering the bite
• Teeth in the way of orthodontic treatment and procedures

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

• Wisdom teeth appear between the ages of 16 and 25 as third molars at the very back of the mouth.
• Generally growing unnoticed, wisdom teeth can cause a variety of spacing and oral health issues in some individuals
• Wisdom teeth should be extracted as soon as possible if they’re noticed to begin impacting the growth of other teeth
• In many cases, the removal of wisdom teeth can be troublesome so the procedure is left to a specialized oral surgeon
