The main goal of dentistry is to preserve your natural teeth and keep them healthy for as long as possible. There are times, however, it becomes necessary for a tooth to be removed because of crowding, disease or trauma. If not removed, a tooth that needs to be extracted can become problematic, resulting in pain, infection and other dental problems. Often grafting is done at this time to provide better bone for implants.

Whatever the reason, tooth extraction is more often than not a very routine procedure. Tooth extraction is nothing to be feared when done by an experienced hand.
