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.
There are several types of extractions. Depending on the severity of the procedure you need, anesthesia and/or numbing medication may also be involved. In a simple extraction, your dentist removes your tooth by loosening the surrounding gums, grasping your tooth with forceps until it comes out.
