Wisdom tooth removal
I was planning to get my LASIK surgery done next month but now I get to know that I also have horizontal wisdom tooth(which is causing minor pain from few months) which needs a surgery to get it removed.
So now I am confused what should I get it done before and how much gap is needed in both the surgeries?

Lasik is an elective surgery which can be planned as per our convenience...Chronic pericoronitis around wisdom tootg is an infectious condition which should be addressed as early as possible become it becomes acute and cause spread of infection. So get the wisdom tooth surgery first, and go for Lasik after one month.
