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.
