Please tell me if i should remove my wisdom teeth now or later during my winter holidays?

Depends: Now or later may depend on what symptoms you are having, as well as the availability of an appointment. The holidays can be a busy time for dentists and oral surgeons when a lot of students are out for the holidays. If you have time off for the holidays, having them removed now may allow you more time for recovery.

Personal preference: You should have 2-4 days to recover. Often during the school 4 wisdom teeth are removed. Student back to school monday. Others prefer summer or during breaks. Personal preference. For best results, make sure a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon does your wisdom teeth surgery.
