Wisdom tooth extraction is a common oral surgery procedure performed to remove one or more third molars, which are the last teeth to emerge in the mouth. These teeth often cause problems due to lack of space, leading to impaction, misalignment, infections, or pain.

Why is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Necessary?
- Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth may remain trapped under the gums, causing pain and swelling.
- Crowding: They can push against other teeth, leading to misalignment.
- Infections and Decay: Partially erupted wisdom teeth are hard to clean, increasing the risk of cavities and gum infections.
- Cysts or Damage: Impacted teeth may develop cysts that can harm the jawbone and surrounding teeth.
Procedure and Recovery
The extraction can be simple or surgical, depending on the tooth’s position. Local or general anesthesia is used for comfort, and after removal, stitches may be placed. Recovery typically takes a few days, with patients advised to follow post-operative care instructions, including soft foods, ice packs, and avoiding strenuous activities.
Removing problematic wisdom teeth helps prevent future complications, ensuring better oral health and comfort.
