Wisdom tooth extraction surgery is a dental procedure to remove one or more third molars located at the back of the mouth.
These teeth often cause problems such as impaction, infection, crowding, or pain due to limited space in the jaw. The surgery may involve cutting the gum and bone to access the tooth, especially if it’s impacted. It’s typically performed under local or general anesthesia. Recovery includes managing swelling, bleeding, and discomfort, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few days. The procedure helps prevent future dental issues and supports overall oral health.
