Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. However, many people experience problems with their wisdom teeth due to a lack of space in the mouth and tilted growth of the tooth. This can lead to impacted teeth, infections, and other dental complications. Removing wisdom teeth can prevent these problems and maintain optimal oral health.

Types of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Simple Extraction: Simple extraction is performed on a fully erupted wisdom tooth, usually after it is visible from above the gum line. This procedure uses anesthesia to numb the area and then gently loosens the tooth to remove it from the gum and jawbone completely. Simple extraction is minimally invasive and uses simple tools to extract the growth.
Surgical Extraction: Surgical extractions are done for improperly growing wisdom teeth that cannot grow correctly and are trapped beneath the gum line or within the jawbone. After anesthesia is used to numb the impacted area, an incision is made, and the tooth is divided into smaller sections and removed from its root. Surgical extractions take longer to heal than simple extractions but are necessary for impacted teeth such as soft tissue, partial bony, and complete bony impactions.
Benefits
Prevention of Oral Health Issues: Wisdom teeth sometimes push against other teeth, causing crowding and misalignment. These conditions can be avoided by removing wisdom teeth.
Improved Oral Hygiene: If wisdom teeth cause misalignment and crowding, it is difficult to maintain oral hygiene, and the risk of gum infections and cavities is higher.
Overall Health Benefits: Removal of wisdom teeth helps protect jawbone health, adjacent teeth, and overall oral health along with ENT health.

Wisdom teeth should be removed shortly after they erupt or when they cause pain and swelling while growing.
Wisdom teeth removal is done under local anesthesia, so there is no pain during the extraction. The dentist prescribes medications to manage any pain or discomfort after the procedure.
After the wisdom tooth extraction, avoid eating hard, crunchy, hot, or cold foods that irritate the extraction. Instead, include soft foods such as yogurt, potatoes, smoothies, and soup in your diet.
