3rd molar surgery is a minor oral surgical procedure used to remove impacted, partially erupted, or problematic wisdom teeth. These teeth can grow at an angle, remain trapped under the gums, or press against nearby teeth.
👉 Removing them at the right time helps prevent serious dental issues and protects your overall oral health.
You may require wisdom tooth extraction if you experience:
Persistent pain or discomfort at the back of your mouth
Swollen, red, or bleeding gums
Difficulty opening your mouth or jaw stiffness
Bad breath or unpleasant taste due to infection
Food getting trapped around the wisdom tooth
Pressure or damage to adjacent teeth
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to infections, cysts, or damage to nearby teeth.
👉 The entire procedure usually takes 20–40 minutes, depending on complexity.
