Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more of the third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. These teeth are the last set of molars that typically appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Sometimes, they can cause issues if there's not enough space in the mouth for them to grow properly. Here are the key points:
1. Why It's Done:
To prevent or resolve pain, infection, or damage to other teeth.
When they are impacted (trapped in the jawbone or gums).
To avoid complications with dental alignment.
2. The Procedure:
Consultation: The dentist or oral surgeon assesses the need for extraction.
Anesthesia: Local, sedation, or general anesthesia is used to ensure comfort.
Extraction: An incision is made in the gum to expose the tooth and bone. The tooth may be divided into sections to make removal easier.
Stitches: If necessary, stitches are used to close the extraction site.
3. Recovery:
Pain management with prescribed medications.
Swelling and bruising are common and typically subside within a few days.
Soft foods and good oral hygiene are recommended during recovery.
4. Potential Complications:
Dry socket (when the blood clot dislodges from the extraction site).
Infection or nerve injury (rare).
Wisdom tooth extraction is a common procedure aimed at preventing future dental issues and ensuring overall oral health.
