Does An Impacted Wisdom Tooth Always Need Special Surgery?

I have an impacted wisdom tooth, will they be able to pull it out at the dentist's office or will I need to have surgery on it? I don't have dental insurance and was just wondering because it keeps getting infected.
--------------------
Typically anything under the gum line where they have to cut it out, such as an impacted wisdom tooth is sent to an oral surgeon because when they cut the gum line, that is considered surgery. Oral surgeons should be able to take you with some kind of payment plan, or sometimes they have places that work like a credit card where you borrow money, they pay the surgeon and then you make payments back on the loan. If it keeps getting infected, it probably needs to come out. Best of luck.
