EXTRACTION OF TEETH

Pain free dental extraction is not an oxymoron. We here at FORT DENTAL HOSPITAL firmly believe in achieving this.
Extractions are required when tooth cannot be salvaged.
Conditions such as:
Large carious lesions.
Loose teeth which cannot be saved.
Loose root pieces
Fractured tooth which cannot be restored
Large underlying infections involving tooth
Such conditions warrant extractions.
