A. Wisdom teeth may not sit properly in the mouth or may cause problems by putting pressure on other teeth. A tooth extraction may be necessary to prevent infection, pain, and damage to surrounding teeth. 

A. Most people's wisdom teeth begin to erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. If the tooth is likely to cause problems or is already causing problems, it is recommended that the tooth be extracted as recommended by your dentist. 

A. Tooth extraction is rarely performed under local anesthesia and general anesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience some pain or discomfort during the recovery period, but this can be managed with prescribed painkillers. 

A. Most patients can return to most activities the same day or within a few days after a tooth extraction. However, the speed of recovery may vary from person to person. 

A .For 24 hours after tooth extraction, you should eat mainly soft foods as much as possible and keep the extraction area clean. Additionally, you should avoid smoking or using straws. If possible, meals should be eaten after the anesthesia wears off. It is expected that the anesthesia will take approximately 2 to 3 hours. 

A. Not all wisdom teeth necessarily need to be extracted. If your wisdom teeth sit normally, do not cause problems with surrounding teeth, and can be cleaned properly, they may not need to be extracted. 

A. The cost of wisdom teeth extraction can vary depending on the complexity, number of wisdom teeth to be extracted, and anesthesia method used. The exact cost can be determined through a dental consultation. 

A. In rare cases, complications such as infection, nerve damage, or dry socket may occur after tooth extraction. With proper care and following your dentist's instructions, most complications can be prevented.
