CDT codes are a series of numbers and letters that corresponds to a dental procedure. Example, D1110 translates to an adult prophy or cleaning. These codes are needed to submit dental claims to your dental insurance. The codes are in a book that can be purchased explaining what each code is and when it should be used.
CPT,Current Procedural Terminology is for Medical codes. The CDT, Current Dental Terminology is for dental codes. D1110 is a prophylaxis which consists of removing plaque and cleaning the teeth.

CDT most commonly stands for Central Daylight Time, as in the American time zone that includes most of the Midwest. It can also stand for Current Dental Terminology, Credit, and Current Date and Time.
No. The billing codes for medical and dental are completely separate. Dental codes beginning with the letter D and are followed by 4 or more numbers. eg. D1110 for an adult prophy/cleaning Dentists are only allowed to bill for dental treatment with dental codes and not allowed to use medical codes. Billing with a medical code while performing a dental procedure for which a dental code exists is considered insurance fraud and punishable by law.
The code for an extraction is D7140. I Just wanted to add that there is also a couple other CDT codes that might be utilized for a SX Ext. (Surgical Extraction) D7210 and for a simple ext (childs Ext) D7110. I very rarely use the code D7210 when there's a straight forward Surgical extraction. We would tend to use D7210 when it is a more complex case and includes anesthesia or might include anxiolytics such as Xanax or Halcion.
