Tooth extraction is the professional removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or causing crowding. Extractions can be simple (for visible teeth) or surgical (for broken, impacted, or hard-to-reach teeth). At MK&C Dental in Kettering, we use modern techniques and gentle care to ensure your extraction is as quick and comfortable as possible—helping you avoid future complications and maintain a healthy smile.
