Wisdom tooth removal is a common procedure aimed at alleviating pain and preventing potential complications caused by impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth. At The Orchid Dental Clinic in New Delhi, we provide expert care to ensure a smooth and comfortable extraction process.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars located at the back of your mouth. They typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. Many people experience issues with these teeth due to lack of space in the jaw, leading to potential problems such as impaction, infection, or misalignment.

Reasons for Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth may need to be removed for various reasons, including:

• Impaction: When the wisdom teeth are unable to fully emerge from the gums, causing pain and potential damage to adjacent teeth.
• Infection: Wisdom teeth that are partially erupted can create pockets where bacteria can accumulate, leading to infections.
• Crowding: Insufficient space in the jaw may cause wisdom teeth to push against neighboring teeth, leading to misalignment.
• Cysts or Tumors: In rare cases, wisdom teeth can be associated with the formation of cysts or tumors in the jawbone.
