What are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that typically emerge between ages 17-25. Due to limited space in modern jaws, these teeth often don't have room to grow properly, leading to various problems that may require extraction.
When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?
- Impaction: Teeth trapped in jawbone or gums
- Pain or Infection: Recurring pain, swelling, or pericoronitis
- Crowding: Pushing against other teeth
- Damage to Adjacent Teeth: Affecting neighboring molars
- Cysts or Tumors: Formation around impacted teeth
- Gum Disease: Difficulty cleaning leading to periodontal issues
- Cavities: Decay that's difficult to treat
Types of Wisdom Tooth Impaction
- Soft Tissue Impaction: Tooth covered by gum tissue
- Partial Bony Impaction: Partially encased in jawbone
- Complete Bony Impaction: Fully encased in jawbone
- Angular Impaction: Tooth angled toward other teeth
- Horizontal Impaction: Tooth lying on its side
Our Extraction Procedure
- Examination & X-rays: Assess tooth position and plan extraction
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia for comfort (sedation if needed)
- Tooth Exposure: Incision in gum if tooth is impacted
- Bone Removal: Remove any bone blocking tooth access
- Tooth Extraction: Tooth removed whole or in sections
- Site Cleaning: Debris removed, socket cleaned

Post-Extraction Care
