What is Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure to extract the third set of molars located at the back of your mouth. These teeth often emerge during late teens or early adulthood and can cause various dental problems due to lack of space. Removing wisdom teeth can prevent issues like overcrowding, misalignment, and infection. The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia by an oral surgeon or dentist.

4 Signs a Wisdom Teeth Removal is Necessary

01

Pain or Discomfort

Persistent pain or discomfort in the back of the mouth, often caused by impacted wisdom teeth, can indicate the need for removal.

02

Swelling and Redness

Swelling, redness, or tenderness around the gums at the back of the mouth can be signs of an infection due to impacted wisdom teeth.

03

Difficulty Opening Mouth

Difficulty or pain when opening the mouth fully can suggest that wisdom teeth are causing issues with jaw movement.

04

Bad Breath

Chronic bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth can be a sign of an infection or decay caused by impacted wisdom teeth.

About 85% of third molars will eventually need to be removed, according to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

What to Expect

The wisdom tooth removal process begins with a consultation where X-rays are taken to assess the position and condition of the wisdom teeth. Before the procedure, local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort during the surgery. The oral surgeon or dentist then makes an incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth and removes the wisdom tooth carefully. After extraction, the area is cleaned, and stitches may be placed to promote healing.
