Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars at the back of the mouth, which typically emerge in late teens or early adulthood. Sometimes, these teeth cause problems due to lack of space, improper alignment, or impaction (when the teeth are unable to fully emerge through the gums). Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure to alleviate these issues, prevent infection, and avoid complications like overcrowding or damage to adjacent teeth. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the extraction. Post-surgery, patients may experience swelling and discomfort, but these typically subside within a few days. Wisdom teeth removal can prevent long-term dental problems and ensure the overall health of the surrounding teeth.
