Wisdom teeth extraction
Wisdom teeth extraction is a routine procedure to remove the back molars when they cause pain, crowding, or become impacted. It’s performed with anesthesia for comfort, and most patients recover quickly with proper aftercare.
Wisdom teeth extraction is a common oral surgery procedure to remove one or more third molars—the teeth located at the back corners of your mouth. These teeth often become impacted, meaning they don’t have enough room to emerge properly, which can lead to pain, swelling, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. During the procedure, your dentist or oral surgeon will carefully remove the affected tooth or teeth using local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The process is typically quick, and most patients return home the same day. After extraction, it’s normal to experience mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medications. Following aftercare instructions—such as resting, avoiding hard foods, and keeping the area clean—helps promote smooth healing and reduces the risk of complications. Wisdom teeth removal is often recommended to protect your overall oral health and prevent future dental issues.
