Understanding Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental procedure that removes one or more of your wisdom teeth—the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom. These extractions are necessary when wisdom teeth don't have enough room to emerge or grow properly, leading to pain, infection, or other dental problems.
Why Wisdom Tooth Extraction Is Necessary
There are a few reasons why wisdom tooth extraction may be necessary, including:
Preventing Overcrowding
Wisdom teeth can cause overcrowding, leading to misaligning your teeth.
Avoiding Impaction
When wisdom teeth cannot emerge normally, they become trapped (impacted) within your jaw, which can lead to pain and infection.
Eliminating Pain & Discomfort
Extracting wisdom teeth can alleviate pain and discomfort caused by pressure on surrounding teeth and tissues.
Preventing Gum Disease & Tooth Decay
Partially erupted wisdom teeth create hard-to-reach areas, increasing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
