What is Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Wisdom teeth, often the third molars, are the last of the molars completing the set of 3 molars on each side of the upper and lower arch. In most cases, the third molars erupt without any problem but in some cases, they impinge on the gums. on the gums, or are accompanied by the cyst. At times, they may be misaligned and cause damage to the adjacent tooth. In such cases, the wisdom tooth has to be extracted. The process of removal of wisdom tooth is known as wisdom tooth removal which is undertaken by the oral surgeon.

Benefits of Getting Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom tooth removal is a strategic intervention aimed at preventing a host of dental complications while promoting oral health. This procedure stands out as a crucial preventative measure with several key benefits:

• Prevention of Overcrowding and Misalignment: Removing wisdom teeth can prevent the crowding of existing teeth, often eliminating the need for orthodontic treatments to correct misalignments caused by pressure from emerging wisdom teeth.
• Alleviation of Pain and Discomfort: Extracting wisdom teeth alleviates pain and discomfort associated with their eruption through the gums or potential impaction, improving your daily quality of life.
• Reduction in Oral Health Issues: The removal of wisdom teeth can decrease the risk of decay and gum disease by eliminating hard-to-reach areas where bacteria can thrive, thus contributing to improved long-term oral health.
• Elimination of Potential Complications: By opting for wisdom tooth removal, you can prevent future dental issues such as cysts, tumours, and infections that could require more invasive treatments.
