Impacted tooth extraction is most commonly the surgical removal of wisdom teeth that remain under the jawbone. Depending on the tooth’s position, a minor surgical procedure is performed, and the tooth is removed in a controlled manner.
If impacted teeth are not removed in time, they may cause infection, abscess, swelling, and pain. They can also put pressure on neighboring teeth, leading to crowding and deformities. Therefore, evaluation through regular check-ups is important.
After the procedure, recovery is usually completed in a short time. If stitches are placed, they are typically removed within 7–10 days, and the treatment process is finalized.
