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.
After an extraction, a blood clot forms in the tooth socket. This is an important part of the normal healing process. You should therefore avoid activities that might disturb the surgical area. Do not rinse your mouth vigorously or probe the area with any objects or your fingers.
