Simple tooth extraction is a routine dental procedure performed to remove a fully erupted tooth that can be accessed easily and does not require surgical intervention. Common indications include severe decay, periodontal disease, or preparation for orthodontic or prosthetic treatment.

The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia and involves loosening the tooth and gently removing it from the socket. Simple extraction is quick, minimally invasive, and typically associated with smooth healing. Proper post-extraction care helps ensure comfort, prevent infection, and support rapid recovery.
