Survival Dentistry

There seems to be a lot of talk among the survivalist community regarding dental care and particularly dental extractions. I am a practicing dentist at an urgent care facility and have addressed thousands of patients in varying situations that have had abscessed teeth that require extraction, and have subsequently extracted thousands of teeth. I would like to provide some insight on dental care and in particular on the subject of tooth extraction and the materials required to perform a successful extraction without complicating the existing dental problem. Also note that many medical problems particularly those relating to bleeding, stress, blood pressure, etc will additionally complicate things.
