Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Gurgaon
Wisdom tooth extraction is the surgical procedure to remove one or more of the four wisdom teeth located at the back mouth corners of the adult.
Wisdom teeth, also called the third molars are permanent teeth that usually appear between the ages of 17 to 25 years of age. These are the last teeth to erupt in an adult jaw, in the back of the mouth. For some people, wisdom teeth erupt normally, however for some the eruption is interrupted. This means there isn’t enough space for the wisdom tooth to develop normally in the jaw and it only erupts partially or none at all.
An impacted wisdom tooth may either grow towards an angle at the back of the mouth, towards the next tooth, at the right angle of the other teeth or straight up or down, while staying trapped within the jawline. Dentists associate impacted wisdom teeth with multiple problems that further infect the area. These problems can be:
- Food getting trapped in the empty space
