Yes, a dentist's experience does significantly impact the outcome of wisdom tooth removal and the ability to accurately diagnose and treat oral issues like tooth pain. Choosing a less experienced dentist can increase the chances of complications after surgery, such as nerve damage or infection, and may also delay or lead to an incorrect diagnosis for pain
