What is Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

Wisdom Tooth Extraction is a surgical procedure performed to remove the permanent adult teeth which can be found at the most corners of your mouth, both top, and bottom. This procedure is often done when there is no space for the wisdom teeth to grow which can result in pain and may lead to other dental problems in the future.

How It Works

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last permanent teeth to grow and appear in the mouth, this usually happens around the age of 17 to 25. Many people encounter the impact of wisdom teeth, when the teeth may have erupted partially or not at all. Wisdom Tooth Extraction works with local anesthesia, and in a more serious case general anesthesia would be used.

Types of Wisdom Tooth

· Simple Impaction
This is the simple case of an impacted wisdom tooth that can be removed easier among the cases.

· Soft Tissue Impaction
Soft Tissue Impaction is when the impacted wisdom tooth has grown above the upper border of the jawbone but is still covered by gum tissues.

· Bone Impaction
This is the case where the wisdom tooth is either partially or completely stuck in the jaw.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure

1. Consultation and examination of the teeth condition
2. X-ray to have a clearer picture of the teeth
3. Local or general anesthesia will be applied
