Wisdom Tooth Removal

What is Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Wisdom tooth removal is a common oral surgical procedure to extract the third molars — the last set of teeth that typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. These teeth often become impacted or misaligned due to lack of space in the jaw, leading to pain, swelling, or infection.

When is Wisdom Tooth Removal necessary?

At Face Mile – The Dentofacial Clinic, we recommend wisdom tooth removal when these teeth cause crowding, decay, gum issues, or remain impacted. Symptoms like jaw pain, difficulty opening the mouth, or repeated infections around the tooth area often signal the need for extraction.

How is the procedure done?

The procedure is typically done under local or general anesthesia, depending on the case complexity. A small incision is made in the gum, and the tooth may be sectioned for easier removal. Aftercare instructions are provided to ensure smooth healing and minimal discomfort.
