Wisdom Teeth

Explore how dentists assess wisdom teeth and discuss monitoring, removal and recovery. A wisdom tooth is the last molar to arrive, right at the back. One that comes through in a useful position and can be kept clean may simply be watched; one that is causing decay, inflammation or damage to the tooth in front is usually discussed for removal. How sore it may be and how long recovery runs depend on where it sits and how deeply it is buried.

The articles themselves are in Korean

Our dentists write these articles for patients in Korea, and we have not translated them. Every title in the lists on these pages is in Korean, and so is the article behind it.

What is in English is the part that helps you choose: what each topic covers, and how many articles sit under it. You may use your browser’s translation feature on the Korean text, but medical wording may not translate accurately. If you need anything clarified, send us the question on KakaoTalk and we will answer it before you come in.
