Summary
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the teeth furthest away in the dental arches and are usually the last ones to erupt. Studies have shown that wisdom teeth are not the main cause of tooth movement and that extraction is not intended to prevent the movements of other teeth over time.

Summary
Wisdom tooth extraction is a procedure that involves making an incision in the gum tissue and removing bone, and can result in a painful dry socket, infection, or damage to nearby teeth, nerves, jawbone or sinuses. The procedure is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, and the patient should follow instructions from the hospital or dental clinic staff on what to do before and after the procedure. Complications can include pain, infection, and damage to nearby teeth, nerves, jawbone or sinuses, so it is important to follow the instructions of the dentist or oral surgeon.
