Is anyone ever put in the hospital for a dental procedure?
Yes. If you are having extensive extractions. Sometimes for bone and tissue grafts too.


People who are high risk do to other medical problems may also be treated in a hospital setting.
Reply:Yes.
Reply:Yes, for many reasons. One might have a preexisting condition where the extensive facilities of a hospital may be required if something goes wrong. Or there could be a large amount of work that needs to be done, like multiple extractions or reconstructive work on the jaw or facial bones.
Reply:I had bone grafting done to my upper jaw in the hospital and 6 titanium implants (very long ones) inserted in the hospital....I was born with a cleft palate and needed to be hospitalized because even SMALL mouth surgery is extensive for me... (there's that pre-existing condition).... also if WISDOM TEETH need to be CUT OUT, or are imbedded and will be difficult to remove, sometimes you will have these extractions done in the hospital...it's just safer that way if the extractions are going to be difficult.
