A tooth extraction is a routine surgical procedure performed to completely remove a severely compromised, damaged, or impacted tooth from its bony socket in the jaw. According to clinical guidelines from the American Dental Association (ADA), dentists always prioritize saving natural teeth whenever possible; however, an extraction becomes necessary when a tooth is deemed non-restorable due to deep decay, severe periodontal disease, or structural fractures. Removing a non-restorable tooth eliminates active infection and prevents dental abscesses from spreading into the bloodstream.
Tooth extractions is part of Restorative Dentistry at Virginia Dental Care, located at 915 N Quincy St in Arlington, VA.
