Wisdom tooth removal is a common dental procedure performed to extract one or more third molars, which are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth. These teeth often cause problems due to lack of space, leading to impaction, pain, swelling, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth. Symptoms such as jaw pain, difficulty in opening the mouth, gum inflammation, and recurrent infections indicate the need for wisdom tooth removal treatment.
The wisdom tooth removal treatment is usually recommended when the tooth is impacted, growing at an incorrect angle, or causing discomfort. Delaying extraction can lead to complications such as cyst formation, decay, or pressure on adjacent teeth. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for the patient.
