How do dentists do removal of lateral incisor teeth?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Extracting teeth: We numb the patient with a local anesthetic, and then either use a forceps or elevator to gently remove the tooth. Usually very quick and simple.

Four major steps: 1. Dentist numb the area. 2. Loosens the tooth. 3. Remove the tooth. 4. Post-op detailed instructions are given.
