Things to Know Before a Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth (the third molars) usually erupt in adulthood and often come in misaligned or impacted because there is not enough room on the arch, causing pain, gum inflammation, or damage to the neighbouring teeth. In many cases the doctor will recommend extraction to avoid later complications. Before a wisdom tooth extraction, patients should have an X-ray or Cone Beam CT taken so the doctor can accurately assess the position of the roots and the level of difficulty. At Hanoi Smile, wisdom tooth extraction is performed safely and with minimal pain, helping patients recover quickly.
