Surgical tooth extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth that cannot be accessed easily due to its position, damage, or impaction. Unlike a simple extraction, it involves making an incision in the gum to access the tooth and may require breaking the tooth into smaller pieces for removal. The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia and is common for impacted wisdom teeth or severely damaged teeth. After the extraction, stitches may be placed, and post-operative care includes managing pain, swelling, and promoting healing by following specific aftercare instructions.
