Anyone who has experienced impacted wisdom teeth is bound to have had oral surgery. Although some impacted teeth do not show any symptoms, there are instances where they can cause certain issues like bad breath, headache, swollen lymph nodes, swelling, pain and bleeding, among many others. Wisdom teeth do not actually have any associated evolutionary purpose. Simply out, humans do not need them. In fact, about 85 percent of wisdom teeth are removed because of tooth crowding. Impacted teeth can lead to several dental issues like teeth misalignment and infection. What is Oral Surgery? Although there are instances when an impacted tooth does not have to be removed, those symptomatic cases usually require a surgical extraction. Local or general anaesthesia can be used to ensure the comfort of the patient. Oral surgery has become easier and more bearable now, especially with newly developed techniques and tools that allow for a quicker, safer and less painful procedure.
