Wisdom Teeth Removal Hawaii
Safe and efficient removal of damaged or problematic teeth.Tooth extractions are dental procedures in which a dentist or oral surgeon removes a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This may be necessary for various reasons, including severe tooth decay, advanced gum disease, overcrowding, impacted wisdom teeth, or to prepare for orthodontic treatment. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort, and the dentist uses specialized instruments to carefully loosen and extract the tooth. After extraction, proper post-operative care is essential to promote healing and prevent complications.
