As a generalization, the pain of wisdom tooth extraction is greater than that of caries removal, mainly because it is one of the more traumatic dental procedures in alveolar surgery. However, anesthesia is applied during all tooth extractions. Under anesthesia, the patient will only feel, but generally not have significant pain. Wisdom teeth and caries, moreover, are 2 different classifications that are mutually inclusive. Wisdom teeth may be decayed, and a small portion of caries may be wisdom teeth, so if you break down the extraction of wisdom teeth and the extraction of caries, there is no particular value in comparing the two. Wisdom teeth, specifically our 3rd molar, is an organ of our body, which usually begins to erupt after the age of 18, and is also known as wisdom teeth because its eruption stage coincides with the time when a person’s mind matures. Caries, on the other hand, refers to a decayed tooth, a disease of the teeth, a disease in which bacteria invade the hard tissues of the teeth and cause them to rot and disintegrate. So wisdom teeth and caries, one being an organ and the other a name of a disease, are not particularly significant in their own comparison.
