I was told to go to a university hospital because my wisdom tooth root touches a nerve. Do I have to?

A university hospital is not the only option. When a CT scan shows the distance to and the position of the nerve in three dimensions, Seoul Maeil Dental Hospital can extract most wisdom teeth. If you come in, we assess the difficulty after diagnosis and tell you whether extraction is possible here. If the tooth sits deep enough that surgery under general anesthesia is required, a referral to a university hospital may be necessary.
