Understanding Wisdom Teeth

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that usually appear between ages 17 and 25. While some people have four, others may have fewer. When there's not enough space for them, they can become impacted, causing pain, swelling, or infections.

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?

Crowding & Misalignment: Can push other teeth out of alignment.
Impacted Teeth: Teeth stuck in the jaw can cause severe discomfort.
Risk of Infection: Impacted teeth may infect surrounding gums or bone.
Cysts or Tumors: Rarely, impacted teeth may lead to jaw damage.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process

1. Access

A minor incision in the gum exposes the tooth, sometimes requiring a small section of bone removal.

2. Extraction

The tooth is carefully divided into sections and gently removed.

3. Cleaning

Debris from the tooth and bone is cleared to ensure proper healing.

4. Healing

Dissolvable stitches close the site, and gauze promotes clot formation for recovery.

Aftercare & Comfort

For a smooth recovery, have someone accompany you. Follow the post-procedure instructions provided by our team to minimize discomfort and ensure healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to remove wisdom teeth? Your dentist will determine the timing based on space, x-rays, and your dental development. Often, extractions are considered to prevent pain or prepare for orthodontics.

Do all wisdom teeth need removal? Only teeth that are impacted, misaligned, or pose risk to other teeth require extraction. Healthy, properly erupted wisdom teeth may not need removal.
