Wisdom Teeth Removal in Mandeville, LA
4 Signs a Wisdom Teeth Removal is Necessary
About 85% of third molars will eventually need to be removed, according to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
What to Expect
The wisdom tooth removal process begins with a consultation where X-rays are taken to assess the position and condition of the wisdom teeth. Before the procedure, local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort during the surgery. The oral surgeon or dentist then makes an incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth and removes the wisdom tooth carefully. After extraction, the area is cleaned, and stitches may be placed to promote healing.
