Extraction of wisdom: I would recommend seeing an oral surgeon. They are more trained and equiped to handle any kind of "surprise" that may happen during an extraction.

Good Question: Consult with your general dentist first. Depending on the location and placement of the teeth, they can do the extractions. If the teeth are impacted or in any other way compromised, they will refer you to a trusted oral surgeon. When seeking out any type of specialist, no one knows better than a professional in that field. Use your dentist's recomendations to see the best specialist for you.
