Wisdom Teeth: When to Keep Them and When to Remove Them

 Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often cause more harm than good.

Signs They Need Removal

  • Pain and swelling

  • Crowding other teeth

  • Gum infections

  • Cysts or damage to nearby teeth

The Extraction Process

  • X-rays determine position

  • Local or general anesthesia is used

  • Simple or surgical removal depending on impaction

Recovery Tips

  • Rest and use ice packs

  • Stick to soft foods

  • Avoid straws and smoking

When You Can Keep Them

If fully erupted, pain-free, and easy to clean, wisdom teeth can stay.

Conclusion

Consult your dentist early to avoid complications.
