Great advice so far! Can't reiterate the importance of sectioning teeth! Pretty much if I can't that that tooth REALLY moving around and/or completely out quickly with just an elevator, I'm reaching for a handpiece and a surgical bur and sectioning that tooth. makes it so much easier for both you and your patient!
Sometimes also having the experience and wherewithall to realize that as a GP there are plenty of cases where even though technically you can do it, referring may very well be in both yours and the patients best interest is paramount! Situations such as the heavy bruxer, or that isolated, non periodontally involved molar, or sometimes even patients of certain nationalities, all situations where you're quite likely to encounter very dense bone, is so much better than having that "oh sh$t, why didn't I refer from the beginning?" moment midway through the extraction 😱 Many times those are cases where the oral surgeon will also have a challenging time with the tooth/teeth inquestion, but since they deal with and/or manage more of those types of cases post operatively than your average GP does, it's quite often more routine and easier on the patient that way. And after all, patient care is what it is all about!
