Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal is a common oral surgery procedure performed to prevent or relieve pain, infection, and overcrowding caused by third molars. Wisdom teeth often emerge in late teens or early adulthood and may not have enough space to grow properly.
Removing problematic wisdom teeth helps protect surrounding teeth, gums, and overall oral health.
When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Recommended?
A professional evaluation and imaging help determine the best timing for removal.
Wisdom teeth removal may be recommended if you:
- Have impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth
- Experience repeated infections or discomfort
- Have difficulty cleaning the area properly
- Are at risk of crowding or damage to nearby teeth
- Want to prevent future oral health problems
