Wisdom teeth removal is a common surgical procedure to extract the last molars, usually done under local, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. The process involves making an incision in the gum, and the tooth may be sectioned for easier removal from the jawbone. Afterward, patients typically experience swelling and discomfort, and they must follow aftercare instructions .....
Wisdom teeth are often removed because they are impacted, meaning they don't have enough room to emerge properly and can cause pain, infection, or damage to other teeth. Other reasons for removal include repeated infections, tooth decay, damage to surrounding teeth or bone, and the development of fluid-filled sacs (cysts). Sometimes removal is recommended as a preventative measure before these issues develop.
