Wisdom Tooth Extraction for Adults Over 30: Challenges and Considerations
Late removal of wisdom teeth is hardly rare, yet many Australians are surprised to learn that surgery in one’s thirties carries a slightly steeper learning curve for both patient and clinician. Denser bone, fully‑formed roots and a higher incidence of post‑operative hiccups, such as dry socket, mean planning must be thorough, imaging must be precise and after‑care routines must be rock‑solid. Even so, large studies confirm that well‑managed extractions remain safe, with most adults back at their desks within a week.
