Needing both my 2nd molar teeth removed. would i have an oral surgeon do this or a regular dentist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an oral surgeon: General dentists commonly do simple extractions. Some general dentists have the skill required to remove complicated teeth, though most people require the services of an oral surgeon. See an oral surgeon for the best results.
