What is Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Wisdom teeth removal is a dental procedure aimed at extracting the final molars, known as wisdom teeth, which typically erupt during late adolescence or early adulthood. These teeth can often cause pain and complications if they do not erupt properly.
Why is Wisdom Teeth Removal necessary?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, can cause serious pain and complications if they do not erupt properly. Removing wisdom teeth is necessary to prevent issues such as impaction, crowding, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
