Do I need to have surgical flap for tooth removal?

Q. I have an infection in UL4 and I have been told that the tooth needs to be extracted. My dentist says that the extraction may require a surgical flap (cutting the gum). What can I do if I would prefer a flapless extraction?,
A. Go with your dentist recommendation, he will only lift a flap if it makes taking the tooth out easier for you
