Courage: I admire your courage to attempt a procedure on yourself with absolutely no experience. It takes at least eight years of formal training for a dentist to earn the license to legally practice dentistry. Save the diy projects for the house or car and have an oral surgeon take care of your extraction. Too many complications can occur and you are not trained to handle them.

No: Not advisable unless you want to go on america's got talent! wisdom teeth are hard to see and get access to, even for us dentists. Then you factor in you can damage/break adjacent tooth. You also might only just remove the crown of the tooth and leave the roots, which means pain until you see a dentist to remove the remnants of your handiwork. All in all, leave it to a professional.
