Wisdom Tooth Removal in London

wisdom teeth

Wisdom tooth removal involves specialized oral surgery aimed at addressing issues with the last set of permanent
teeth, known as wisdom teeth. These teeth typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties, often necessitating
removal due to limited space in the mouth. When wisdom teeth cannot erupt properly, they become impacted, leadingto pain, infection, and potential damage to adjacent teeth and overall oral health. Impacted wisdom teeth can significantly impact oral health, causing issues such as extensive decay, contributing to gum disease, and potentially affecting the alignment of neighboring teeth. This underscores the importance of timely removal.

What Happens During Wisdom Tooth Removal Surgery?

Wisdom tooth extraction is typically performed by an dentist or oral surgeon. The procedure involves administering local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth. In some cases, general anesthesia may be used to ensure the patient is asleep throughout the procedure. The surgeon or dentist then makes an incision in the gum tissue to access the wisdom tooth. Using specialized instruments, the tooth is carefully extracted. After the wisdom tooth is removed, following post-operative care instructions is crucial for a smooth recovery. This may include managing swelling, pain, and adhering to dietary restrictions for a brief period.
