Dear patient. Firstly what makes you think that tooth is extra.and not a normal tooth in wrong position? The decision to remove the tooth depends on multiple factors. Including patients dental health,age etc. I would recommend that you visit an Orthodontist in your city for check up and consultation. To know the exact treatment options for you. Start treatment early as it takes time. Hope this helped. Avoid self diagnosis and treatment.

Consult a dentist. If it’s retained milk or extra tooth that can be extracted easily ans painlessly.

Get an OPG done before any extraction ! Also extraction is a simple procedure done under local anaesthesia
Also teeth alignment needs orthodontist consultation may not be corrected just by extraction of extra tooth

Hi,
The tooth can be removed. The procedure will not be painful. After the tooth removal, the teeth will have to brought back to alignment with the help of braces or aligners. Please visit a dentist and get a clinical check up to get a proper treatment plan.

A visit to a dentist will confirm if it is a milk tooth that is yet to fall off. The dentist might need to take an X-ray to confirm it. If it is a milk tooth, it is relatively easy to remove under simple anaesthetic to make the region numb. No, it is not a complex process. Recovery is relatively painless after the first day or two. Regarding the misaligned teeth, it depends on the severity of the misalignment. A qualified orthodontist specializing in braces and aligners can help you correct it.
Next Steps
visit the dentist, preferably an orthodontist
