About Surgical Tooth Extraction
A surgical extraction is used when a tooth cannot simply be lifted out, for example if it has broken at the gum line, has curved roots or is impacted beneath the gum, as wisdom teeth often are.
It is carried out by our dental surgeon under local anaesthetic. A small incision may be made in the gum and sometimes the tooth is sectioned to remove it safely, and we explain the plan beforehand.
