Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom tooth removal or extraction is a procedure to extract one or more wisdom teeth located at the back corners of your mouth in upper and lower jaw. Sometimes, there's not sufficient space for them, so they erupt partially or not at all. This situation can lead to Pericoronitis (inflammation of the tissue surrounding the tooth). When only part of the tooth has erupted into the mouth, it can create a flap of gum tissue that holds food particles and creates an environment for bacterial growth.
