Wisdom teeth are different from other teeth in many ways – they are usually more problematic than other teeth and they require more complex surgery to remove. If your wisdom tooth needs to be extracted, you will probably have to turn to an oral surgeon, as most general dentists do not perform such interventions, so here are some tips how to get recommendations to find the best doctor:
- Turn to your general dentist first – your dentist is the specialist who can tell you whether your wisdom tooth can be treated or it needs to be removed. If you need surgery, your dentist will recommend you a few names, reputable Highland Park wisdom tooth extraction surgeons that you can turn to;
- Turn to the people you know – your friends, coworkers and family are also good sources of information, chances are that at least a few of them have already had to undergo oral surgery and they can recommend you their doctors;
- Online research – the oral surgeons who have their own practice and the dental practices that work with oral surgeons usually have websites that you can check out, then you can schedule appointments to meet the specialist and to check whether you feel comfortable in the doctor’s chair.
