Taking out a tooth is the final resort in dental treatment. There are a variety of reasons to take out a tooth. It could be that the tooth is decayed or infected and is no longer restorable, or it could be a wisdom tooth that was never useful, or the tooth needs to be removed for braces. Whatever the reason, the decision to remove a tooth is not an easy one.

Tooth extraction is performed when your dentist concludes that removing a tooth or teeth is the best course of action to prevent further oral health issues. Although the process of tooth removal is typically straightforward, it's normal for patients to experience feelings of insecurity or nervousness about undergoing the procedure.
