Extraction is numbing your area and pulling your tooth. Surgery is having incisions and usually be put out to get teeth out.
Wisdom tooth surgery is a common dental procedure where the third molars, also known as wisdom teeth, are removed. These teeth are located at the back of the mouth and often cause problems such as pain, infection, and overcrowding. After the surgery, patients can expect some swelling, pain, and bleeding in the affected area.
Not Always Surgical: Not all wisdom tooth removals require surgery—if the tooth is fully erupted and accessible, it can be extracted without a surgical procedure. Impacted Teeth May Need Surgery: If the wisdom tooth is impacted (stuck under the gums or bone), a minor surgical procedure is usually required. X-Ray Determines the Need: A dental X-ray helps your dentist decide whether a simple extraction or surgical removal is needed. Local Anesthesia is Used: Whether surgical or not, the area is numbed to ensure a pain-free experience. Healing Time Varies: Surgical extractions may require stitches and a longer healing period compared to non-surgical ones. Post-Care is Crucial: Proper aftercare, including rest and following dentist instructions, speeds up recovery and avoids complications. Conclusion: Not every wisdom tooth removal needs surgery—it depends on the position and condition of the tooth.
