Wisdom tooth removal is a common oral surgery performed when the third molars (wisdom teeth) are impacted, causing pain, infection, or alignment issues.
When is Surgery Needed?
✔ Impacted teeth causing pain or swelling
✔ Crowding or misalignment of other teeth
✔ Risk of infection or cyst formation
Procedure & Recovery
✅ Local or General Anesthesia – Ensures a painless procedure.
✅ Tooth Extraction – The dentist may cut the gum and remove the tooth in pieces.
✅ Healing Time – Swelling lasts 3–7 days; full healing in a few weeks.
✅ Post-Surgery Care – Soft foods, no smoking, and saltwater rinses are recommended.
