Wisdom Tooth Extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, located at the back of the mouth. These teeth typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25, but often do not have enough space to grow properly. When wisdom teeth become impacted – trapped under the gums or growing at an angle – they can cause pain, infection, swelling, and damage to surrounding teeth or bone. Removal helps eliminate these issues and prevents future complications such as decay, cyst formation, and gum disease. In some cases, the dentist may also recommend early removal as a preventive measure.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction involves surgically removing the tooth from the jawbone under sterile conditions. Depending on the complexity, the procedure may be performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. The dentist begins by making a small incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and surrounding bone. If necessary, a portion of bone is removed to gain access. The tooth may be divided into smaller sections to allow easier removal, especially if it is impacted. Once removed, the site is cleaned to eliminate debris or infection. The area may be stitched closed, and gauze is placed to control bleeding and promote clot formation. The procedure is typically completed within a single visit, though recovery continues over several days.
