Wisdom Tooth Removal in Coimbatore
The short answer: Wisdom tooth removal is the extraction of third molars that are impacted, decayed, infected or crowding other teeth. It is planned with an X-ray or 3D scan, done under local anaesthesia, and most people recover within a week. Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out, so an examination decides.
