I need to have 2 top molars pulled, however, a wisdom tooth is horizontally on top of these 2 teeth. My dentist said the extraction of these 2 teeth will not cause any problem with the wisdom tooth. If these teeth are pulled will the wisdom tooth be exposed and ultimately need to be extracted?

If the wisdom teeth eventually come through, they will be poorly angled and probably have to be extracted; they will be a nuisance to you. Usually upper wisdom teeth are easy to extract.
