Tooth extraction may not always be the best course of action. Before the tooth is removed consider the alternatives (e.g. endodontics) based on the best interest of the patient.
   
The differing root morphology of teeth require a selection of well maintained, modern instruments, used with the proper techniques, to prevent excessive trauma to the patient.
   
There are many potential complications associated with exodontia. You must be aware of what they are and how to deal with them if they arise.
   
The pre-operative and post-operative adjunctive treatment should be considered based on the ability of the owner to administer treatment and the needs of the patient.
