Wisdom tooth extraction

Third molars, or wisdom teeth, are the last to erupt in the mouth. A lack of room for them to grow correctly causes several problems with oral health. Wisdom tooth extraction is then required in these situations.

Why is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Necessary?

  • Impaction: When wisdom teeth become impacted (stuck in the jawbone), they can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
  • Crowding: Wisdom teeth can push up against neighboring teeth, resulting in biting issues and misalignment.
  • Cysts and Tumors: In rare cases, wisdom teeth can be associated with cysts or tumors.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure

The extraction process typically involves:

  • Anesthesia: Local anesthetic, or general anesthesia, is given to numb the area.
    Incision: An incision is done in the gum to gain access to the tooth.
  • Bone removal: If necessary, bone is removed to access the tooth.
  • Tooth removal: The tooth is divided into smaller pieces (if required) and removed.
  • Stitches: The gum is closed with stitches, which usually dissolve independently.

FAQs About Wisdom Tooth Extraction

While discomfort is expected after the procedure, modern anesthesia techniques minimize pain during and immediately after the extraction.
Most people recover within a week, but healing can take several weeks.
A soft and cold diet is recommended for the first few days to allow the extraction site to heal.
