Wisdom teeth are the four permanent adult teeth at the back of your mouth, two on the top and two on the bottom. They usually come in between the ages of 17 and 25, and they can cause a variety of problems, including pain, swelling, and infection. In some cases, wisdom teeth may need to be removed.
Dentists are qualified to remove wisdom teeth. They have the training and experience necessary to safely and effectively extract these teeth. Wisdom tooth removal is a common procedure, and it is typically performed in a dentist's office under local anesthesia. The procedure usually takes about an hour, and most people recover quickly.
