Tooth extraction, particularly wisdom tooth extraction, is a common dental procedure that helps maintain your oral health and prevent future complications. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood and can often cause issues due to a lack of space in the mouth.
1. Impaction: Wisdom teeth may become impacted, meaning they don’t fully erupt through the gums, leading to pain and swelling.
2. Crowding: These teeth can push against adjacent teeth, causing misalignment and discomfort.
3. Cavities and Gum Disease: Difficult-to-reach wisdom teeth are more prone to decay and gum infections.
Eliminating problematic teeth alleviates pain and discomfort.
