Why is wisdom tooth extraction difficult?

Wisdom tooth extraction is more difficult than any other teeth. It is because they don’t grow like any other teeth. If the wisdom tooth is impacted, it may grow into a more angled position. Since wisdom tooth may have multiple roots, they can grow separately or fused. Because of their irregular shape and relativity to the nerve, wisdom tooth at the lower jaw can be more difficult to be extracted.

Is wisdom tooth extraction painful?

After the completion of the procedure, there might be swelling or a feeling of tenderness. You can use a cold pack for 15 minutes with a gap of 1 hour. Don’t put the pack directly onto the skin, instead wrap it in a paper towel or cloth. The dentist would suggest medicines such as ibuprofen to reduce the pain and swelling.
