Types of Dental Extraction: Simple Extractions
Extractions can be classified as simple extractions and surgical extractions. Simple extractions are done on teeth that are: 1) Easily seen in the mouth; 2) Not yet severely damaged by tooth decay, and; 3) Teeth that can be extracted without too many complications. The dentist lifts the tooth using an elevator and removes it using dental forceps.
