The procedure typically takes 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how many teeth are being removed and whether they are impacted.
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. However, if they are impacted, misaligned, or causing pain, extraction is often recommended to prevent further dental issues.
Delaying impacted wisdom tooth removal can lead to serious problems like infections, cysts, gum disease, and damage to surrounding teeth. Early extraction prevents these complications and protects your overall oral health.
In some cases, if the wisdom teeth are healthy and properly aligned, removal may not be necessary. However, if they pose a risk to your oral health, extraction is often the best solution.
There is no strict age limit, but it’s often easier to remove wisdom teeth during the late teens or early twenties when the roots are not fully developed.
