Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket without causing any damage to the surrounding supportive tissues. The pain of tooth extraction procedures varies depending on the tooth's eruption into the oral cavity.

There are two types of tooth extraction: simple extraction and surgical extraction.
A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that is visible in the mouth and is above the gum line. These teeth are usually easily removed by loosening the tooth with an elevator and pulling it out with forceps.
A surgical extraction is performed on a tooth that is below the gum line or is completely embedded in the bone. These teeth are impacted.

Consequences of Not Getting Wisdom Teeth Removed:
Do you have partly emerged or crooked wisdom teeth, which you can feel with your tongue or know they’re there because they hurt when you eat hard things? We think it is time for you to remove them before they become infected. Partly-emerged wisdom teeth leave space for bacteria to enter your gums and infect the area around them, so get them removed through a simple procedure before they cause more damage.
You can also rest assured that our dentists and their assistants will take the utmost care to ensure you experience minimal pain during the wisdom tooth extraction procedure. It’ll take a maximum of three to four appointments, and you will be prescribed a couple of pain killers after the tooth is extracted and open areas of gums are sealed. If you’re wary of extractions because you think they will hurt, you can sit back knowing you’re in good hands!
