Explanation

"Teeth pulled" is a common phrase used to describe the process of having a tooth or teeth removed by a dentist or oral surgeon. This is usually done because a tooth is damaged or decayed beyond repair, or to make space in the mouth for other teeth to grow properly. The procedure involves numbing the area around the tooth, then using special tools to remove the tooth from its socket in the jawbone. After the tooth is removed, the area is cleaned and stitched up to heal.
