Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that typically emerge in the late teenage years or early twenties.

1. What are wisdom teeth and why do they need to be removed?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that typically emerge in the late teenage years or early twenties. They often cause problems because there is not enough room in the mouth for them to grow properly, leading to pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. Therefore, many dentists recommend removing them before they cause any issues.
2. How is wisdom teeth removal performed and what is the recovery process like?
Wisdom teeth removal is a common dental procedure that can be done under local or general anesthesia. The dentist or oral surgeon will make an incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth and then extract it. After the procedure, patients may experience some swelling, pain, and bleeding, but these symptoms can be managed with pain medication and proper care.
3. Is it necessary to remove all four wisdom teeth at once?
Not necessarily. Some people may only have one or two wisdom teeth that need to be removed, while others may need all four. The decision to remove wisdom teeth depends on the individual's oral health and the position of the teeth. Your family dentist can evaluate your situation and recommend the best course of action.
