Скачать или смотреть How Wisdom Tooth Removal Surgery Is Performed?

Wisdom tooth extraction is a common surgical procedure in which the wisdom tooth is removed from the mouth. Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to grow in, usually appearing between the ages of 17 and 25. Because they come in at this later age, they are called "wisdom" teeth.

Since these teeth emerge during young adulthood, there often isn't enough space in the mouth for them. As a result, many people experience significant pain and swelling when their wisdom teeth come in. In some cases, there is also a risk of pus forming. For this reason, it is often recommended to remove wisdom teeth for people facing these issues.

Let’s go through the process of how a wisdom tooth extraction is done:

First, an X-ray of the patient's mouth is taken to check the roots and positioning of the wisdom tooth. Then, the dentist injects local anesthesia around the tooth area to numb it, ensuring that the patient doesn't feel pain during the procedure.

If the tooth hasn’t fully emerged from the gums, the dentist will first make an incision in the gums to expose the wisdom tooth. Using dental tools, the tooth is then cut into two parts. With the help of an elevator instrument, the tooth is loosened and removed. In some cases, metal tweezers are used to pull the tooth out.

Once all parts of the tooth are removed, the tooth socket may be filled or the gums may be stitched closed. To stop any bleeding, gauze is placed on the gums, and ice packs are recommended to reduce swelling.

And that’s how the wisdom tooth extraction process is completed.
