What is "exodontics"?

Exodontics, commonly known as oral surgery, is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the surgical removal of teeth. Dentists or oral surgeons skilled in exodontics perform tooth extractions for various reasons, including serious rotting of the tooth, lack of space for teeth, or wisdom teeth unable to emerge properly. They also handle complex cases such as tooth fractures or failed root canal treatments. Exodontics aims to ease pain, prevent infection, and promote oral health by removing problematic teeth effectively and safely.
