Sometimes there is no way around it.  A tooth needs to be pulled (or extracted).  Sometimes the efforts can be aggressive, but the goal is “atraumatic tooth removal”, meaning minimal to zero collateral damage.

The key is using the right tools.  Dr Timmerman uses a tool called Physics Forceps to get the tooth out quickly and with less post operative discomfort.
