Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom tooth removal, otherwise known as third molar extraction, is a surgical procedure performed to remove one or more wisdom teeth located at the back of the mouth. These teeth often erupt improperly due to lack of space in the jaw, leading to various complications. In some cases, wisdom teeth may become trapped under the gumline when erupting causing impacted wisdom teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth can risk nerve and jaw damage occurring.
Wisdom teeth extraction is a routine procedure performed to prevent dental complications and to help promote good oral health. Wisdom teeth frequently cause issues that get worse with time, which is why doctors recommend removing wisdom teeth earlier in life. Wisdom teeth can cause jaw and facial pain or tenderness and swelling at the back corners of the mouth. Sometimes patients opt to remove wisdom teeth before they emerge as a preventative measure. Patients may also opt for early removal because as you get older, recovery time increases and removal can be more difficult.
Wisdom tooth removal offers several benefits for oral health. It prevents against impaction, which can cause pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth and surrounding tissues. By removing impacted wisdom teeth, the risk of cysts, tumors, and gum disease is minimized. Additionally, wisdom tooth removal can alleviate overcrowding in the mouth, reducing the likelihood of orthodontic problems and facilitating proper dental alignment.
