A Mission Viejo surgeon is offering free wisdom tooth extraction to college students.

Dr. Junil Ahn, an oral surgeon at OC Oral Surgery, is launching a “Wisdom for Wisdom” program. The program is meant to offset textbook costs by providing free wisdom tooth removal.

“Textbooks are expensive,” Dr. Ahn said in a statement. “They can easily eat up an entire budget, and then some. I hope that I’ll be able to help start the student off on the right foot this year.”

Interested candidates can apply July 5 to July 15. One student will be selected for the free service.

The service will include all four wisdom teeth.

The application is available at ocoralsurgery.com/wisdom-for-wisdom.
