An impacted tooth, orthodontic issues or the risk of infection are some of the reasons that extraction may be recommended. When this is the case it is best to schedule the procedure asap in order to avoid further trouble. A simple extraction is done in your dentist’s office when the crown of the damaged tooth is visible above the gumline. It is a common procedure to be followed up by a day or so of home rest for recovery and close attention paid to post op instructions.
