What is wisdom tooth extraction? Does it hurt?
Wisdom tooth extraction is a dental procedure to remove the wisdom tooth (the 3rd large molar at the back of each arch). Depending on the position of the wisdom tooth relative to surrounding structures and the complexity of the roots, the doctor may perform a regular extraction or choose minor surgery.
Because wisdom tooth extraction is an invasive procedure, you need to choose a reputable dental clinic and an experienced, highly skilled doctor so you can proceed with peace of mind and avoid post-extraction complications such as persistent bleeding, infection, nerve damage…
When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Extracted?
Wisdom teeth that are painful, swollen, with operculitis, cysts… due to being misaligned/impacted or growing in the wrong position.
Decayed wisdom teeth.

Pregnant women who need preventive wisdom tooth extraction before entering the last trimester.
Benefits of early wisdom tooth extraction
Minimizes wisdom tooth complications affecting neighboring teeth and related structures
During eruption, if the jawbone does not have enough room for the wisdom tooth, the impacted or misaligned tooth will press into the neighboring tooth, trapping food => decay in the neighboring tooth, periodontitis, bad breath, bone loss and operculitis.
Easier oral hygiene
When the wisdom tooth cannot erupt straight and fully.
Avoids crowding and bite misalignment
Wisdom teeth erupting incorrectly can push against the neighboring teeth, causing them to tilt and crowding in the front tooth area.

Step 3
Follow-up visit
Step 1: Wisdom tooth examination + X-ray survey + blood tests + oral cleaning
Before the extraction, the doctor examines the condition of the wisdom tooth in the patient's mouth in person and takes X-rays (panoramic + CBCT) to survey the wisdom tooth anatomy and classify the difficulty in order to make a comprehensive treatment plan. The patient then has blood tests to check overall health and has the mouth cleaned before extraction.
Step 2: Anesthesia and wisdom tooth extraction
The doctor anesthetizes the wisdom tooth (local or regional anesthesia) and extracts it. After the procedure, the patient is given a prescription and post-extraction instructions, and scheduled for a follow-up and stitch removal (if any).
Step 3: Follow-up
7–14 days after wisdom tooth extraction, the doctor schedules a follow-up to check the extraction socket and remove stitches.
