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.
A RealAge answered. In a simple extraction, the tooth to be removed is already visible, so the dentist will use forceps to loosen it before pulling it out. If necessary, the dentist may insert an instrument between your tooth and gum to help loosen it further. Prior to the procedure, you will receive a local anesthetic.
