Excessive tooth decay, tooth infections, and congestion may require tooth extraction. Those who get the brace may need to have one or two teeth removed. In addition, those undergoing chemotherapy or undergoing organ transplantation may need to have their teeth removed to maintain the health of their mouth. The tooth is extracted by a dentist or oral surgeon, which is a relatively fast outpatient procedure using local, general, and intravenous anesthesia or combination. Removing visible teeth is a simple extraction. Teeth that are broken, below the surface, or impacted require further intervention procedures.
