Impacted Wisdom tooth

Wisdom teeth usually emerge from the gum (erupt) between the ages of 18 and 30. They are the last of the molar teeth. Some people never develop wisdom teeth, others have up to four - one in each corner of the mouth.

Having wisdom teeth removed is often the only way to permanently relieve painful symptoms.

The removal of such impacted wisdom tooth has to be accomplished surgically. A flap is reflected to completely expose the tooth. Some amount of bone cutting may be required to facilitate easy removal. After the tooth is extracted the flaps are put in place and sutured. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is associated with minimal pain and discomfort.
