Abstract
Wrong site tooth extraction was removed from NHS England’s list of ‘never events’ in February 2021 as the systemic barriers put in place to prevent these events were not considered strong enough. This opinion article discusses the risk factors leading to wrong site tooth extractions, including the effects of human factors, the implications for dental professionals and the different methods dental professionals can implement to minimise risk.
