What does gymno-mean? Definitions for gymno-Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word gymno-.
Dental extraction. A dental extraction (also referred to as tooth extraction, exodontia, exodontics, or informally, tooth pulling) is the removal of teeth from the dental alveolus (socket) in the alveolar bone.
Some stages of gum disease are so serious that an affected tooth cannot remain in place. At its most serious stage (advanced periodontitis), gum disease may lead to gum recession and extreme gum swelling. Another consequence is that teeth in the affected area may become loose, requiring tooth extraction. Tooth Extraction: What a Patient Can Expect Since the tooth extraction procedure is surgery, patients will receive an anesthetic (whether local or general will be determined by the patientâs oral condition and that patientâs particular needs).
