Third Molar Extraction in Aurangabad / Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
What is Third Molar Extraction?
Third molar extraction, commonly known as wisdom tooth extraction, is a surgical procedure to remove one or more of the third molars. If the position of the third molar is incorrect it leads to pain, swelling, cheek bite, caries, or infection.
The third molars are the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth. These teeth usually erupt in the late teens or early twenties and often cause problems such as impaction, crowding, pain, caries, swelling, etc if not located at the desired position. The extraction of wisdom teeth can prevent future complications and maintain oral health.
