Third molar extraction, also known as wisdom teeth removal, is a common dental procedure that involves the removal of the molars located at the back of the mouth. These teeth typically emerge in the late teenage years or early twenties and can cause various issues, such as overcrowding, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth.
The extraction procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and is usually quick and straightforward. After the procedure, patients may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bleeding, which can be managed with pain medication and proper post-operative care.
