Whatever the reason, tooth extraction is more often than not a very routine procedure
How straightforward this minor surgery is will depend on where the tooth to be extracted is located in the mouth. For example, a front tooth with a single straight root is easier to remove than a molar with multiple roots. This is especially true when that molar is a wisdom tooth that is impacted. Meaning it is below the surface surrounded by gum tissue and bone. Often, a wisdom tooth is blocked from fully erupting (growing in) by other teeth in its path.
