Abstract :
Tooth extraction is a dental procedure that
involves removal of tooth from the alveolar socket with
the help of local anesthesia to numb pain by a dentist. The
purpose of this survey is to evaluate the basic knowledge
of general public regarding dental extraction. An online
based questionnaire study consisting of 15 questions
regarding dental extraction was carried out to assess
among 250 general people across Chennai, Tamilnadu
through Google forms. The results of this study shows the
lack of awareness and knowledge about dental extraction
among general public though they were aware of few
basics involved. The carelessness and misconceptions of
their dental health observed among the people clearly
shows the need of creating awareness among them.
