Wisdom Tooth Extraction – Protecting Your Oral Health
Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental surgical procedure performed to remove one or more wisdom teeth—the four permanent adult molars located at the back corners of your upper and lower jaw.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
While wisdom teeth naturally emerge in early adulthood, not everyone has sufficient space in their jaw to accommodate them properly. When a wisdom tooth lacks room to grow, it can become impacted, leading to various dental complications, including:
- Pain & Discomfort – Pressure from an impacted wisdom tooth may cause ongoing pain or soreness in the surrounding area.
- Infections & Gum Issues – A partially erupted wisdom tooth can create pockets where food and bacteria become trapped, increasing the risk of infection, swelling, or gum disease.
- Tooth Crowding & Misalignment – If wisdom teeth push against existing teeth, they may contribute to crowding and disrupt the natural alignment of your smile.
- Cysts & Jaw Problems – In some cases, an impacted wisdom tooth can develop into a cyst, which may cause damage to surrounding teeth, roots, or jawbone.
The Extraction Procedure
Wisdom tooth removal is performed by a dentist or oral surgeon under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. The procedure typically involves:
- Assessment & X-rays – Your dentist will evaluate the positioning of your wisdom teeth using dental imaging to determine the best approach for extraction.
- Surgical Removal – If the tooth is impacted, the dentist may need to make small incisions in the gum to carefully remove the tooth in sections.
- Healing & Recovery – After extraction, proper care is crucial for smooth healing. Patients may experience mild swelling and should follow post-surgical guidelines to reduce discomfort and promote healing.
