When a wisdom tooth lacks sufficient space to grow correctly, it can become impacted, leading to dental problems, infection, and pain. In such situations, removing the wisdom tooth is often necessary to alleviate discomfort and prevent potential complications. Depending on the case’s complexity, either a dentist or an oral surgeon can perform the extraction. To ensure your comfort, the area will be numbed using a local anesthetic, and additional sedation options might be available to help you relax throughout the procedure.
