Wisdom teeth extraction is a surgical procedure performed to remove the third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. These teeth are the last to erupt, typically during the late teens or early twenties. Due to limited space in the mouth, wisdom teeth often become impacted, meaning they fail to fully emerge or grow in the proper alignment. This can lead to various issues, including pain, infection, crowding, damage to adjacent teeth, and even the formation of cysts or tumors. Wisdom teeth extraction is commonly recommended to prevent or address these potential complications. The procedure is typically performed by an oral surgeon or a dentist with surgical training. Prior to the extraction, the dentist may take dental x-rays to evaluate the position and condition of the wisdom teeth. Local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia may be administered to ensure the patient's comfort during the procedure. The dentist makes an incision in the gum tissue, removes any bone blocking access to the tooth, and then extracts the wisdom tooth. After the extraction, the area is sutured, and gauze is placed to control bleeding. Patients may experience some swelling, discomfort, and mild bleeding following the procedure, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days. Pain medications, ice packs, and a soft-food diet may be recommended during the recovery period. Wisdom teeth extraction can help prevent future complications and promote oral health. It is important to follow post-operative instructions and maintain good oral hygiene to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
