Hi Charleen,
A dentist who is very experienced in oral surgery and who performs the proper surgical protocol of extracting teeth to help avoid a cavitation does not have to be an oral surgeon.
Keep in mind that all dentists, including oral surgeons, are trained to remove the tooth with the least amount of trauma, and remove the periodontal ligament and all diseased tissue and bone. However, it is best to let them know that you expect those things to be done.
The general dentists that you consulted who perform oral surgery are they holistic or biological dentists by any chance? How did you feel about their approach to your concerns about removing this tooth?

I live in Southern California but I'm willing to travel. The only options I can find are 3 dentists who extract teeth (they are not oral surgeons) and an oral surgeon who has extremely bad reviews about the entire staff (I gave them a chance but they quickly blew it with me too). I am still undecided about what to do, but I have a lot of good advice so far and if I choose extraction then I want to have options available.
Thank you in advance.
