Wisdom Teeth Removal
Importance of Wisdom Teeth Removal
For teen and young adults, removing impacted wisdom teeth is a common procedure to prevent infection and damage to adjacent teeth and bone. Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to develop, and often cause overcrowding or infection if left unattended.
Problems Caused by Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause food impaction, gum infection, caries, pain, and limited mouth opening. As the wisdom tooth usually erupts partially due to lack of space in the oral cavity, these problems can occur.

Fortunately, modern tooth extraction techniques make the procedure far less painful than ever before. Anesthetics and sedatives are used to ensure patient comfort during the procedure. At our dental hospital, we use state-of-the-art equipment to minimize discomfort and maximize safety.

FAQs
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that typically emerge in the late teenage years or early adulthood. Some people may have all four wisdom teeth, while others may have only one, two, or three.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed, but many dentists recommend removal if they are causing problems such as pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. Wisdom teeth may also need to be removed if they are impacted, meaning they are partially or fully trapped beneath the gums and cannot emerge normally.
The process for removing wisdom teeth can vary depending on the complexity of the case, but typically involves a simple surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. The dentist will make a small incision in the gum tissue, remove the tooth, and then close the incision with stitches. Recovery time varies, but most people are able to resume normal activities within a few days.
Wisdom tooth removal is a common and generally safe procedure, but as with any surgery, there are some risks. These can include bleeding, infection, nerve damage, and damage to nearby teeth or structures. Your dentist or oral surgeon will discuss these risks with you before the procedure and take steps to minimize them.
