One of the most common oral surgery treatments is tooth extraction. Patients may be referred to an oral surgeon for tooth extraction for many reasons. Sometimes, injury or decay require a tooth to be removed to restore oral health. Wisdom teeth extractions are common due to the lack of space in the mouth, and to prevent potential oral health complications in the future. Other times, a tooth is removed to prepare for oral surgery or orthodontic treatment.
