Can a normal dentist extract my upper wisdom teeth at my home?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, home is not well equipped for this procedure and it lacks the most important equipment, the X-ray.

Not smart. The Dentist's office is sterile and equipped for all exigencies. Your kitchen is not. If your Dentist, after examination, x-rays, etc., feels the surgery (yes, tooth extraction is a surgical procedure) has complication risks, you will be referred to a specialist Oral Surgeon.
