Wisdom teeth are the teeth situated at the back of the mouth and are usually the last teeth to develop. These teeth are prone to becoming impacted due to the lack of space in the dental arch and can cause harm if they partially erupt through the gum.

There are several anaesthetic options depending on the number and the degree of difficulty the wisdom teeth present. Post operative discomfort varies depending on these circumstances.

The most common reasons for removing wisdom teeth:

• Decay
• Gum Infection
• Pressure Pain
• Orthodontic reasons
• Prosthetic reasons
• Cyst formation

Wisdom tooth removal Process

• The procedure involves making an incision in the gum and retracting the gum tissue to expose the impacted tooth and bone.
• The removal of the bone is done with a surgical drill to expose the tooth roots and to allow removal in sections.
• The removal of any infection from the site.
