Two options: You can start by speaking to your general dentist. He\she can determine whether or not you should be referred to an oral surgeon for a consultation. It is hard to give you more information without actually being able to examine you and see an x-ray of your tooth.

That depends: That depends on how experienced your general dentist is and how difficult your wisdom teeth will be. A qualified general dentist can perform simple wisdom tooth extractions with no problem. Impacted and/or infected wisdom teeth should be extracted by an oral surgeon to minimize the chance of complications, as they have more extensive training.
