The extraction of wisdom teeth is a common oral surgery procedure. It is often recommended as a preventative to protect your other teeth from future problems and to maintain your oral health. Recovery is usually quick and most people can return to normal activities within a few days. Extracting wisdom teeth involves removing third molars, the four permanent adult teeth located at the back of the mouth, upper and lower jaw. Wisdom teeth usually grow between the ages of 17 and 21.
