Q&A

What is wisdom teeth removal?

Wisdom teeth removal is a dental procedure to extract your third molars, commonly called wisdom teeth. These are the last set of teeth to emerge, typically during your late teens or early twenties. However, many people lack adequate space in their mouths for these teeth to grow properly, causing them to become impacted or partially erupted. Removal is often necessary to prevent oral health complications.

Why might I need wisdom teeth removal?

You may need wisdom teeth removal if you experience:

  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth: When wisdom teeth fail to fully emerge or grow sideways, they can cause pain, infection, or damage to surrounding teeth.
  • Overcrowding: Wisdom teeth can create pressure on adjacent teeth, leading to misalignment or crowding.
  • Tooth or Gum Pain: Partially erupted wisdom teeth often cause discomfort and tenderness, especially when pressing against nearby teeth.
  • Infection or Gum Disease: Impacted wisdom teeth can trap bacteria, leading to infections and increasing the risk of gum disease.
  • Severe Tooth Decay: Hard-to-reach wisdom teeth are more prone to cavities and decay, which can affect overall oral health.

What happens during wisdom teeth removal?

The procedure starts with administering anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Depending on the complexity of the extraction and your preferences, your dentist or oral surgeon may use local anesthesia, sedation anesthesia, or general anesthesia. Once the area is numb or you’re sedated, the dentist proceeds with the extraction.

Q: What are the steps involved in wisdom teeth removal?

  1. Incision (if necessary): If the wisdom teeth are impacted or partially erupted, the dentist may make a small incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth.
  2. Bone removal: In some cases, a small portion of the bone covering the tooth may need to be removed.
  3. Tooth sectioning: If the tooth is difficult to remove in one piece, it may be divided into smaller sections for easier extraction.
  4. Extraction: The dentist carefully removes the tooth, ensuring minimal trauma to the surrounding tissue.
  5. Stitching: The incision site is stitched closed if necessary, using dissolvable or non-dissolvable sutures.
