Tooth Extractions
A tooth extraction removes a tooth from its socket when keeping it is not the appropriate option. The decision considers the tooth’s condition, possible alternatives and what the space may need after healing.

Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the molars at the very back of the mouth. Removal may be considered when their position or condition creates a problem; the decision is based on assessment, rather than assuming every wisdom tooth must come out.
Tooth extractions and wisdom teeth.
Our guides describe why removal may be considered, what assessment involves and the questions to discuss before treatment. Whether a tooth should be removed depends on its condition and the findings from your examination.
Know who will provide your care.
Ask which clinician would perform a recommended procedure, where it would take place and whether a referral is needed. Discuss the available comfort measures, relevant risks and alternatives with the clinician responsible for your treatment.
Plan before and after the appointment.
Before scheduling a procedure, ask about preparation, transport arrangements if applicable, recovery instructions and whom to contact with concerns afterward. Follow the instructions given for your specific treatment and share your current medications and health history with the team.
