Surgical Removal Of An Erupted Tooth

North Carolina rates for HCPCS D7210

Removal of a tooth that has already broken through the gum but that requires a surgical approach, where the gum tissue is opened and some bone or a portion of the tooth may need to be removed to take it out. This is used when a tooth cannot be extracted with simple pressure and elevation, often because of a curved or brittle root, prior dental work, or a tooth broken at the gumline. It typically involves stitches afterward.
