Extraction: Your doctor will numb the are with local anesthetic and wiggled the tooth out with pressure. If the tooth is badly decayed, broken down, or has a root canal, your doctor will likely section/cut the tooth into a few pieces to make it come out easier. Hope this answer helps.

Extraction: The tooth is extracted with a variety of instruments. Sometimes, in difficult cases, a gum flap and bone section is needed. If you prefer sedation, see an oral surgeon.
