Tooth extraction is a dental technique that involves removing a damaged tooth or one that presents problems for the patient's oral health. It is a surgical intervention based on tooth extraction from the oral cavity. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, thus preventing the patient from feeling any discomfort while the operation is taking place. 

After a tooth extraction in Kingston, it is expected to feel some pain and inflammation in the tooth and its area of ​​influence. For this reason, specific guidelines and care must be followed to facilitate proper recovery.
