What is wisdom teeth removal?
Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure to extract the third set of molars, which are located at the very back of your mouth. These teeth usually start to come in during the late teens or early twenties and can lead to different dental problems due to a lack of space. By removing them, you can prevent issues like overcrowding, misalignment of your teeth, and infections. The procedure is usually performed using local or general anesthesia by a dentist or oral surgeon.
4 Reasons Why Wisdom Teeth Might Need to Be Removed

If you're experiencing constant pain or discomfort in the back of your mouth, which is often due to impacted wisdom teeth, it could mean they need to be taken out.

Swelling and Redness
Swelling, redness, or tenderness of the gums at the back of your mouth can be signs of an infection caused by impacted wisdom teeth.
3.
Difficulty Opening Mouth
If you have trouble or pain when opening your mouth fully, it might suggest that your wisdom teeth are causing problems with your jaw movement.
4.
Bad Breath
Constant bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth can be a sign of an infection or decay that's related to impacted wisdom teeth.

What to Expect
The wisdom tooth removal process starts with a consultation where X-rays are taken to see the position and condition of your wisdom teeth. Before the procedure, you'll be given local or general anesthesia to ensure you're comfortable throughout the surgery. The oral surgeon or dentist will then make a small cut in your gum to access the tooth and will carefully remove it. After the extraction, the area will be cleaned, and you might receive stitches to help with the healing process.
