Who Needs an Oral Surgeon When You’ve Got a General Dentist?
In our most recent survey, we asked dentists what percentage of wisdom tooth removals they refer to an oral surgeon. Overall, half of our dentist respondents refer out 80% or more third molar extractions. Some dentists were grateful to be rid of most or all wisdom teeth cases, while other dentists prefer to refer only the most complicated cases. “That’s what oral surgeons are for!” exclaimed a California dentist who refers out all removals. Said a Mississippi dentist, “I am grateful to have a source to refer things that are more difficult than I am comfortable doing.”
