How to remove wisdom teeth

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
Wisdom tooth extraction must be performed by a dental professional and should not be attempted on one's own. The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and safety. The extraction process typically involves two steps: first, making a surgical incision in the gum tissue to expose the wisdom tooth; second, using specialized instruments to loosen the tooth from the jawbone and remove it. The entire procedure usually takes only 10 to 30 minutes, and recovery time after surgery generally requires just a few days.
