What is Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that usually emerge in your late teens or early twenties. In many cases, they don’t have enough space to grow properly, leading to pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. When this happens, wisdom teeth removal is necessary.
At Suncity Dental, our experienced oral surgeons ensure a smooth and comfortable procedure, using advanced techniques to minimize pain and promote faster healing.
Types of Wisdom Teeth Removal
Simple Extraction
If the wisdom tooth has fully erupted and is easy to remove, it can be extracted without surgery. The procedure is quick and performed under local anesthesia.
Surgical Extraction
If the wisdom tooth is impacted (stuck in the gum or jawbone), a minor surgical procedure is required. This involves making a small incision in the gum, possibly removing some bone, and carefully extracting the tooth.
Why Do You Need Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth can cause several issues, including:
- Impaction – Lack of space can cause the teeth to get stuck under the gum, leading to pain, swelling, and infection.
- Tooth Decay – Partially erupted wisdom teeth are difficult to clean, making them prone to cavities.
- Gum Disease – Wisdom teeth can trap food and bacteria, leading to swollen and painful gums.
- Infection – Bacteria buildup can cause painful abscesses or cellulitis.
- Cysts – A fluid-filled sac may develop around an impacted wisdom tooth, causing bone damage.
- Damage to Nearby Teeth – Pressure from wisdom teeth can harm adjacent teeth or shift their position.
- Braces or Orthodontic Treatment – Wisdom teeth can disrupt alignment after orthodontic treatment.
