The answer

A fasting person is permitted to treat their molars by filling or extracting them, and this does not affect their fast if they do not swallow any medication or blood. Breaking the fast is only permissible if the pain becomes severe, necessitating medication, or if there is heavy bleeding that weakens the body. Therefore, whoever breaks their fast merely for a tooth extraction has erred and must repent and make up for that day.
