Extraction is a minor surgical procedure. During extraction infected tooth is removed.

It is  advisable to bite a gauze in the extracted teeth area for atleast half an hour.

This helps to prevent bleeding thereby accelerating clot formation.

Dental cavities is most commonly caused  by  improper oral hygiene.

Lack of proper brushing sticks the food particles in between or on any tooth surface. Caries causing bacteria disintegrates the tooth on course of time to result in cavities.

food particles + caries causing bacteria +tooth + time= Dental cavities.

Heriditary can also be a main reason behind dental cavity.

Also in some people the caries causing bacterial amount is more, they are more prone to decay.Such people tends to get a fast progression of decay.
