Analysis: how to think about surgical removal of erupted tooth costs
The oral surgery category spread for surgical removal of erupted tooth (CDT D7210) runs 36% between the cheapest and priciest states in our 2024 dataset, and cost of living explains most of that gap, not procedure difficulty.

Practices in the other 31 states have no Medicaid fee schedule entry for D7210, which is part of why Medicaid-accepting providers can be scarce for this procedure.
