wisdom tooth extraction
Third molar surgery
Wisdom tooth extraction is a dental procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth—the third molars that emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood.
These teeth often cause problems: impaction, crowding, or infection.
The procedure ranges from simple pulling to surgical removal requiring incisions and bone cutting.
I'm getting my wisdom teeth extracted next week.
