Are all dentists’ oral surgeons?

No, all dentists are not oral surgeons. During dental school, dentists are trained on how to remove teeth. However, certain teeth, like wisdom teeth, are more complicated to treat. Oral surgeons have additional training to also take care of these more complicated cases that may include maxillofacial factures from accidents and other dental issues.
