Tooth Extraction / Surgery

Patient Instruction Tooth Extraction / Surgery 1. General Information    Wisdom tooth Surgery  is a procedure to treat impacted wisdom teeth that are either still beneath the gums or have partially erupted but not fully. This process is more complex, time-consuming, and generally more expensive. Typically, stitches are required to close the wound, and patients must return for suture removal as scheduled by the dentist. Wisdom tooth removal is for fully erupted wisdom teeth. This procedure is quicker, less costly, and does not require stitches to close the wound. When Should You Consider Wisdom Tooth Surgery?             Most people have four wisdom teeth, with two on the upper jaw and two on the lower jaw, typically emerging between the ages of 17 and 25. However, some individuals may have no wisdom teeth at all, or more than four, depending on various factors such as jaw size, dental abnormalities, or genetics.
