Third Molar Extraction (Wisdom Teeth Removal)
What are Third Molars?
Third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, are the last set of molars to emerge in the back of your mouth. They typically appear between the ages of 17 and 25.
Why Extract Third Molars?
Many people don’t have enough space in their jaw to accommodate wisdom teeth, leading to various complications:
- Impaction (teeth unable to fully emerge)
- Crowding of existing teeth
- Increased risk of decay and gum disease
- Pain and discomfort
- Cysts or tumors (in rare cases)
When is Extraction Recommended?
- Visible damage to nearby teeth
- Signs of decay or gum disease
- Pain or discomfort in the back of the mouth
- To prevent future dental problems
- Before orthodontic treatment
Benefits of Early Extraction
- Easier procedure and faster recovery when done at a younger age
- Prevents potential complications and future dental issues
- Can improve overall oral health
