How to remove wisdom teeth

It is recommended that patients undergo an examination before wisdom tooth extraction, using dental X-rays to determine the position and growth condition of the wisdom teeth. Based on the specific dental and physical conditions, a personalized extraction plan should be developed. Prior to the procedure, the dentist will administer local anesthesia to minimize pain. Specialized instruments are then used to loosen the wisdom tooth, followed by gentle traction to remove it. The entire process typically takes no more than 20 minutes, during which patients usually feel only mild pressure without significant pain. After extraction, patients should rest adequately and avoid chewing forcefully to prevent interference with wound healing. The dentist may also prescribe anti-inflammatory and pain-relief medications to prevent infection and alleviate discomfort.
