We hate it when our dentists ask us to get a tooth removed. Our first reaction is why not save it, why to remove a cute little tooth. 3rd molars erupt around the age of 18 years, that’s why known as Wisdom teeth. They are the last teeth to erupt in the mouth through the gums. For some wisdom teeth erupt normally like any other teeth causing no troubles, sometimes a third molar gets stuck below the bone or gums or grows at an odd angle, causing trouble. Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth - the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom.
