Why do most Dentists not like to pull out wisdom teeth?

Question:

I had to go through seven dentists before I could find one who did.

Answers:
Dentists are not surgeons. That is why there are oral surgeons.
Wisdom teeth have long nerve roots which can wrap around nerves that do things in your jaw and face that could be damaged if someone doesn't know what they are doing. IF I were you I'd be grateful that seven dentists knew their limitations.
Next time seek out an oral surgeon. I ended up having general anesthetic to have mine removed because they were so deep.

they usually refer out to an oral surgeon, at least in my experience.
