Wisdom teeth.
What to expect when they need to come out.
The last to arrive.
Wisdom teeth are the third molars, at the very back. They usually come in between 17 and 25.
Not enough room.
They often come in tilted or stay trapped under the gums.

We numb the area, and sedation may be an option to help you relax.
Gently removed.
The tooth is carefully removed, sometimes in sections. A few stitches may be placed.
