wisdom teeth removal
Third molar surgery
Wisdom teeth removal is the surgical extraction of the third molars, typically performed in late adolescence or early adulthood when these teeth become impacted, crowd other teeth, or cause pain.
The procedure is so common it functions as a rite of passage: She's getting her wisdom teeth removal next week.
Recovery involves swelling, soft foods, and avoiding straws.
