The Wisdom Tooth Process
Depending on the patient, a wisdom tooth extraction can be simple or complex. Simple removals apply when the teeth are somewhat exposed, using dental forceps and an elevator to lift it from its socket. Meanwhile, dentists only perform complex extractions on impacted wisdom teeth – those that are partially or completely trapped in your gums. In those cases, an incision is often made into the gum tissue to expose the affected tooth. The dentist will then separate the tooth into several pieces and remove each one (this allows for a smaller incision and faster recovery).
