Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually emerge between 17 and 25 years old. Some people may not experience issues, others may encounter problems such as impaction, misalignment or crowding. These situations often necessitate the removal of wisdom teeth to prevent complications like pain, infection and damage to adjacent teeth.

The procedure involves a thorough examination, followed by the extraction of problematic wisdom teeth. Before the surgery, our dentist will discuss anesthesia options to ensure a comfortable experience. Recovery may vary, but most individuals can resume their normal activities within a few days. Proper post-operative care, including rest and following prescribed instructions, contributes to a smooth recovery process.

Removing problematic wisdom teeth can prevent a host of oral health issues. By addressing potential complications early on, individuals can avoid pain, infections and damage to neighboring teeth. Wisdom teeth removal promotes overall dental well-being, ensuring a healthy and comfortable oral environment for years to come.
