How are wisdom teeth removed?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
1. The dentist will perform an oral examination and take X-rays to confirm the position and development of the wisdom tooth. 2. Local anesthesia will be administered to the mouth and the area around the wisdom tooth to ensure the patient feels no pain during the extraction. 3. The dentist will make an incision in the gum tissue surrounding the wisdom tooth to expose it, then use dental instruments to loosen and remove the tooth. 4. The extraction site will be cleaned, and stitches may be placed to control bleeding and promote healing. Throughout the procedure, the dentist will ensure precise and efficient techniques to minimize patient discomfort.
