Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom tooth removal is a common oral surgery procedure. Dentists may recommend this treatment to preserve your oral health and protect your other teeth from possible issues in the future.

You might need wisdom teeth removal if your wisdom teeth cause pain, grow in crooked, or result in other oral health issues. Sometimes dentists recommend removing wisdom teeth preventively, before issues have a chance to develop.

This common oral surgery procedure takes about an hour to complete. Full recovery takes about two weeks.

Your wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are in the very back of your mouth. Typically, they erupt sometime between the ages of 17 and 25.
