wisdom teeth removal

Wisdom teeth removal involves extracting the third molars at the back of your mouth, often because they cause discomfort, crowding, or other dental issues. The procedure is usually performed by an oral surgeon under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on complexity. The dentist or surgeon makes an incision if needed, removes the teeth, and stitches the site to promote healing. Recovery typically includes some swelling, discomfort, and a soft diet for several days. Removing problematic wisdom teeth can prevent future dental complications and improve overall oral health.
