What Are Wisdom Teeth Extractions?
Wisdom teeth extractions involve the surgical removal of one or more of the third molars located at the back of the mouth. These teeth often do not have enough room to emerge correctly and can cause pain, infection, or other dental issues.

Why Might a Wisdom Tooth Extraction Be Necessary?
Wisdom tooth extraction may be necessary if the teeth are impacted, meaning they are trapped beneath the gums or jawbone. This can lead to overcrowding, misalignment, or damage to adjacent teeth. Additionally, impacted wisdom teeth can become infected or create cysts, leading to further complications if not addressed promptly.
In some cases, wisdom teeth erupt partially or at an angle, making them difficult to clean and increasing the risk of decay and gum disease. Removing the wisdom teeth helps prevent these issues, maintaining a healthy and well-aligned smile.
