Why do I need to go to an oral surgeon for my tooth extraction?
If your general dentist will not be able to remove the wisdom tooth because he/she is not trained or within their skill sets, they will refer you to an oral surgeon and they will extract/remove the teeth. There are many general dentists who can remove your wisdom tooth for lesser price than a specialist fees and they will be doing a good job too. But there are some wisdom tooth that is best handled by a specialist because they are more trained to handle some complications and more covered on their liability insurance if some complication were to happen. On a broader note, with less training given to general dentists in schools on the field of oral surgery, the trend is shifting more towards almost every patient in the future will be getting referred to an oral surgeon. And the wisdom tooth could be surgical extraction or a partial bony or completely bony extractions/impactions. Based on the level, severity of position of wisdom teeth in the bone, the price differs.

Adult tooth is loose. What should I do?
Please visit a dentist. We will take an x-ray and analyze if the tooth is fractured or more of an avulsion. If it's fractured then there are different options of treatment based on the extent of fracture. If the tooth is not fractured, if it's just loose, then we can do perio splinting to restabilize the tooth. But the tooth needs to be evaluated first to make a diagnosis to come with a treatment plan. Also please wear mouth guards when you play. Dr. Nisha Sundaragopal DMD READ MORE
