Extraction of wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth are teeth that usually don't break through until the actual dentures are fully developed. Wisdom teeth often do not erupt vertically from the jaw, but look for the little space left in the maxillary sinus and thus display varied growth. Not every wisdom tooth must be extracted. Surgical intervention is however inevitable if the wisdom tooth causes discomfort.A surgical procedure may be performed, depending on the positioning of the wisdom tooth and whether it is already affected by caries. Typically this procedure only requires a local anaesthesia. Under certain circumstances, such as the extraction of several wisdom teeth, it is recommended to perform the surgery under general anaesthesia. The particular procedure always depends on your specific dental situation.
