If you're referring to Dr Hertz in Flatbush, I used him recently for a tooth extraction (not wisdom tooth, but a back tooth). All went very smooth. Just be prepared for a long wait time.

I guess he got really popular the last few years, I was there a couple of years back, and only waited around 20-30 minutes.

It was a 4-5 week wait for the appointment.

Wisdom teeth extraction is a scam.  If it becomes an issue,  then you'll do it.

I know you're trying to troll but that actually is a legitimate claim. Many dentists believe that.

depends on what you would call an issue.

I was very impressed when during my (long) wait time I overheard Dr. Hertz recommend some people not to extract them yet.
But he did recommend that I should, and I believe that they were moving the rest of my teeth because they weren't growing in straight....

Meh. That's a controversial claim. Teeth almost always drift mesially, even after wisdom tooth extraction

I know it is, and I believe it. 

Dentistry generally is about on par with car mechanics.

lol but it is true. A dentist is based solely on trust and some dentists take advantage of that.

that is actually not bad for a hygienist doing a cleaning and the dentist popping his nose in for 10 seconds.

This is what most ppl think about dentists. Silly or not,  they have a perception problem.  I think the perception is real.

But real or not, the way to solve it is not to call it silly.

How important is an experienced oral surgeon for wisdom teeth extraction? I was referred to Dr elbaum in Jackson, and I have an extraction set up with one of the new dentists ( dr brown )I do not have impacted teeth or anything complicated.
