Tooth extraction removes a tooth that cannot appropriately be retained or needs removal as part of another treatment plan. Pain alone does not determine the decision. Restorability, supporting tissues and alternatives are assessed through examination and appropriate imaging.

What is assessed before treatment?
Assessment covers root anatomy, infection and nearby structures. Share information about bleeding, medicines, allergies and previous treatment. Do not stop anticoagulants or other prescribed medicines without clinical advice.
How is treatment planned?
A simple or surgical approach may be needed. The anaesthetic plan, possible pressure sensations and aftercare are explained. Sectioning the tooth or placing sutures may be necessary. The tooth position and tissue condition determine the procedure.
Alternatives and limitations
A filling, root canal treatment or periodontal care may allow a tooth to be retained in suitable circumstances. Extraction is irreversible. Monitoring the space, a bridge, denture or implant are considered separately; the same approach does not suit every space.
Risks and follow-up
Risks include bleeding, swelling, infection, dry socket and, depending on location, altered sensation. Instructions address protecting the clot, cleaning and eating. Seek emergency help for bleeding that does not stop with pressure, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or rapidly spreading swelling.
