A dental extraction device includes a gripping assembly including first and second gripping arm, a prying element including a driving arm and an abutting and hooking portion, two first cushioning members defined on the second gripping arm, a first spacing portion formed between the first cushioning members, and a second cushioning member defined on the second gripping arm at one side of the first spacing portion. To extract a tooth, a tooth holding member is first fixed to a tooth to be removed and then the first or second cushioning members are placed on one or more teeth that are not to be removed to serve as a support point and the abutting and hooking portion is set in engagement with the tooth holding member. The first and second gripping arms are then moved to cause the driving arm to drive the abutting and hooking portion for pulling out the tooth.
