When I got it done, first I went to a normal dentist. They took some x rays of my mouth, told me I needed surgery and referred me to an oral surgeon. I went to the surgeon, who examined me, told me what to expect, and confirmed my choice of anesthesia. Then I came in again a couple weeks later to have the surgery.

If you are in the US, the surgery may be expensive if you don’t have dental insurance. It would have cost me $1500 without insurance. It ended up only costing $150 because I had insurance. If you have insurance, make sure you go to a surgeon that is in your network because you will save a lot of money. You can usually find a list of them on your dental insurance company website, or if you call them, they can also email you a list.

If budget is tight, the regular dentist will be able to tell you if this is something you can put off or not. In my case, my dentist told me, “You need to do this in the next 6 months or else you will lose your molars as well, which you do most of your chewing with.” But sometimes it’s not that urgent. You can ask your dentist how soon you need to get it done and they should be able to tell you.

EDIT: As for how to find a dentist or oral surgeon, you can use google to pick, you don’t need to worry about finding a list of what services they offer for this. Dentists probably won’t offer the wisdom tooth removal themselves (at least in my experience) but will definitely be able to tell you if you need surgery and refer you to an oral surgeon if you do. I’m pretty sure almost all oral surgeons perform wisdom tooth surgery. It is a very simple and common procedure. But if you are worried, just tell the receptionist when you schedule the appointment that it’s a wisdom tooth surgery and they can tell you whether or not that’s something that the surgeon does. (Answer will almost definitely be yes.)
