Some dentists are comfortable removing wisdom teeth, but most are not. The procedure is an invasive surgery requiring specific skills and involving issues such as bleeding, sinus issues, infection, and potential nerve damage. Complications may arise that a dentist does not typically deal with. An oral surgeon regularly performs wisdom teeth surgery and can perform the procedure safely, efficiently, and with minimal risk of complications. Oral surgeons can also offer a full array of anesthesia options for your comfort.
