Wisdom tooth extraction is a common dental procedure that many individuals undergo in their late teens or early 20s as wisdom tooth growth can cause pain, discomfort, swelling, and inflammation.

What are wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge in the mouth. They are also known as third molars. As there is not enough space in the mouth, these wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and also infection.

The Troubles by Wisdom Tooth

1. Pain & Discomfort – As the wisdom tooth comes in at a wrong angle and also far back in the mouth, it may press against your other teeth causing pain and discomfort.
2. Swelling and Inflammation – They rub against the cheek due to crowding, causing swelling, redness and inflammation
3. Cavities & Infection – Food particles can get stuck between the wisdom tooth and its adjacent tooth. You cannot reach your wisdom tooth and clean these particles while brushing or flossing. This will lead to cavities, tooth decay, and gum infections.

Why is Wisdom tooth extraction done in early adulthood?

During early adulthood, the molars will be in good condition, and with age, jawbones become hardened and wisdom tooth extraction becomes more complicated. Hence wisdom extraction is best to be done in early adulthood.
