Some dentists do routine wisdom teeth removal. However, if the surgery is complex or the teeth are impacted, they usually refer their patients to an oral surgeon. Wisdom teeth removal is an invasive surgery requiring precision. It can lead to complications such as sinus problems, bleeding issues, infection, or nerve damage. Oral surgeons perform wisdom teeth surgery regularly and can avoid these issues and, in the rare instances when they occur, treat them safely with a low risk of complications.
