Although most tooth extractions are completed without any complications, there may be rare occasions where problems arise during an extraction.
- The tooth can fracture, and, in some cases, your dentist may be unable to remove the tooth in its entirety.
- Or, the extraction may be too complex and outside the skill set of a general dentist.
In both situations, you would normally be referred to secondary care in a local hospital, for a minor surgical extraction.
Along with any referral process, the waiting list can sometimes be several weeks, however, we aim to see patients with 7 days.
