Somewhere I had the idea that wisdom tooth extraction fell within the

Is that correct?


If the teeth are sideways and impacted, an oral surgeon, otherwise it
takes like two seconds at the dentist.

I had my lower wisdom teeth removed by an oral surgeon, the upper
teeth at the dentist. It was no problem.
