Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the final set of teeth to develop, located at the very back of the mouth. Not everyone has all four wisdom teeth, and for some, these teeth emerge without issue and function normally. However, when there isn't enough space, wisdom teeth can become impacted, leading to potential complications such as infection, pain, tooth decay, damage to adjacent teeth, misalignment, cysts, tumors, and increased risk of jaw fracture. To avoid these issues, impacted wisdom teeth often need to be removed, particularly if they're poorly positioned or partially erupted, allowing bacteria to enter and cause infection.

The removal process involves a consultation with an oral surgeon to discuss your oral health and create a personalized treatment plan. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort, with a comprehensive approach to safety and monitoring. After the extraction, patients receive a post-operative kit with care instructions and a follow-up appointment to monitor recovery.
