Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars located at the very back of your mouth. Most people have four wisdom teeth, one in each corner of their mouth. These teeth typically emerge during late adolescence or early adulthood, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. While they served a purpose for our ancient ancestors, helping them chew coarse, rough food like roots and raw meat, modern diets and smaller jaws have made wisdom teeth less necessary.

Periodontitis is a serious gum disease that affects not only the gums but also the bones and tissues supporting your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other severe health complications. 

Following these instructions is crucial to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery, as well as minimize the risk of complications after your oral surgery.  Please carefully follow these instructions after surgery. 

I'd like to quote this commencement address by Roger Federer "People would say my play was effortless. Most of the time, they meant it as a compliment... But it used to frustrate me when they would say: Is he even trying?  The truth is, I had to work very hard... to make it look easy!!" Same in dental specialists. We've been working more than 10,000 hours on incisions, flaps, sutures, etc. to make surgeries look easy (and fast). This is different to general dentists, who possibly only work 1/5 of their time doing surgeries. So, who do you choose when you need an oral surgery ?
