Wisdom tooth removal is a common oral surgery procedure performed to extract one or more of the third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. These teeth usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 25 and often lack sufficient space to grow properly, leading to impaction, crowding, infection, or gum inflammation. In such cases, removal is recommended to prevent pain, swelling, damage to adjacent teeth, and other oral health complications. The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity. With modern techniques and proper aftercare, wisdom tooth extraction is a safe and effective way to maintain long-term oral health.
