Is it safe to have  the wisdom teeth removed in the dentist office under anesthesia.  I saw a story on TV that indicated it could be unsafe if the anesthesia isnt administered by a qualified anesthesiologist  Would it be safer to have the surgery done by an oral surgeon.  The student is 18 years old.
