An extraction is the removal of a complete tooth due to its inability to be repaired from decay, fracture, or from extensive, non-reversible periodontal disease.
Depending on the tooth and reason for the extraction, some extractions may be referred to an oral surgeon.
Panther Hollow does not perform general anesthesia so if a patient would prefer to be unconscious during the procedure, or is having multiple teeth extracted, they will need to see an oral surgeon.
