Wisdom Tooth Extractions

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of molars to emerge at the back of the mouth.

Due to limited space in the jaw, these teeth often cause pain, infections, and potential damage to surrounding teeth. When wisdom teeth become impacted, they can harm adjacent healthy teeth and lead to the loss of the second molar. Removal is recommended as soon as potential issues are identified.

The extraction process typically involves numbing the area, possibly making a small cut in the gum, and sometimes dividing the tooth for easier removal.
