Wisdom Teeth Extraction
About Wisdom Teeth Extraction:
Wisdom tooth extraction, also called removal, is a surgical procedure to take out one or more wisdom teeth. These are the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom.
If a wisdom tooth, also known as a third molar, doesn’t have room to grow, it can become impacted. If an impacted wisdom tooth causes pain, infection or other dental problems, you’ll likely need to have a dentist or an oral surgeon remove it. Some dentists and oral surgeons recommend removing your wisdom teeth, even if they aren’t causing problems. That’s because these teeth can lead to problems later in life.
Benefits:

- A beautiful smile.
- Fresher breath.
- A reduced need for dental work such as fillings, crowns, bridges, implants or dentures.
- A lowered risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other health concerns.
