Why Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Necessary?
Wisdom tooth extraction is recommended when:
The tooth is fully or partially impacted
It presses on neighboring teeth and causes crowding
Recurring infection develops around a partially erupted tooth (pericoronitis)
Decay or gum disease has progressed too far to be treated
There is a risk of cyst or tumor formation
If these conditions are not monitored, infection can spread and cause permanent damage to the neighboring teeth.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
What Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Wisdom tooth extraction is the removal — by simple or surgical methods — of the third molars, the last teeth to erupt, when they remain impacted, erupt only partially, cause crowding or lead to infection.
When there is not enough room in the jawbone, these teeth cannot erupt in the correct position and may damage the neighboring teeth, gums or jawbone.
How Is a Wisdom Tooth Removed?
At DOA Dental Clinic, wisdom tooth extraction proceeds as follows:
Evaluation of the tooth's position and root structure with a digital X-ray
Numbing the area with local anesthesia
Conventional extraction in simple cases, or removal with a minor surgical procedure for impacted teeth
Stitches if needed

What Is Recovery Like?
Swelling and mild pain are normal for the first 24-48 hours after extraction.
A cold compress helps reduce swelling.
Hard, hot and spicy foods should be avoided for the first few days.
Stitches, if any, are removed within 7-10 days.
Healing is usually complete within 1-2 weeks.
