However, if a root canal is not possible, the tooth will need to be pulled. Extraction may also be used to remove impacted teeth such as wisdom teeth.

The process of an extraction begins by numbing the area where an extraction will take place. It's important to wait and allow the numbness to sink in fully. While the dental extraction patient is seated and completely numbed, the dentist checks the depth of the anesthesia by making a tiny incision around the tooth. Once it is established that the patient is completely numb, the incision is lengthened and the gum tissue is tenderly pulled away from the tooth. If any of the surrounding bone is in the way, it is then removed gently. Also, and only if needed, the tooth is then softly divided into pieces and the pieces are then removed. Sutures/stitches are then put into place so that the gum tissue positions back into it's proper place correctly.
