What is Tooth Extraction?
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. While Dr. Preethi always prioritises saving natural teeth, extraction is sometimes necessary for severely damaged, infected or overcrowded teeth.
Modern extraction techniques at Sethu Dental Care are gentle, precise and completely painless under local anaesthesia. Dr. Preethi uses minimally traumatic extraction methods to ensure faster healing and a comfortable experience.
