Should I Consult Oral Surgeon for Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Most likely. Removing the wisdom teeth might be one of the most common oral procedures, but that doesn’t make it any less serious for patients. Removing wisdom teeth may require cutting into the gum tissue and even removing some adjacent bone. It is generally in a patient’s best interest to choose an oral surgeon for this procedure.
Do I Need A Consultation Before Treatment?
Simpler issues can often be taken care of the same day. If you have something more than an extraction, you will probably need a consultation before scheduling your surgery.
