Wisdom teeth grow in almost all adults, although some people have them more or less. They are leftover molars that we no longer use. In cases where wisdom teeth grow easily, there is no need to remove them.
However, there are many cases when their growth causes pain and discomfort, and extraction is the only solution. If wisdom teeth are affected and problems are aligning them, dentists recommend removing them. Previous infections must be cleared before surgery can be performed. You can call your dentist to get more details.

The patient is given local or general anesthesia. The second option is recommended when two or more teeth need to be extracted. After the patient is sedated, the gums are removed and the bone covering the tooth is removed.
The tooth is then broken completely or into several pieces to make it easier to remove. The cloth is sewn and gauze with an antiseptic is placed on it.
Like any surgery, wisdom tooth extraction takes time to heal. Those who are susceptible to infection receive antibiotics and the recovery period can be extended. Much depends on the continued treatment and the patient's health condition.
The advantages of tooth extraction are many. There is less risk of damage to the teeth and other jawbones, less pain and discomfort from the affected tooth, and less swelling, ulceration, and bleeding from the affected tooth.
