Thanks, Bryanna, for that information. I'm calling the dentist today. I hope he can do it, and that it's not very hard to take out. I have enough pain!

All extractions are surgical. However, some dentists are only comfortable extracting teeth that do not require any incision or suturing. Sometimes a tooth broken off at the gumline can be a little tricky to get a hold of and needs to have a small incision. Other times, it does not. The only way for the dentist to determine how to remove it is to look at it clinically and on an xray to see the root structure.

Let us know how you do!
