Wisdom Teeth Removal – The third molars or wisdom teeth, are located at the very back of the mouth. They typically grow through the gums during one’s teenage years or early 20s. In some instances, there is not enough space for a wisdom tooth to grow properly, which can cause it to emerge partially, get stuck, or even emerge at an unusual angle. It is common to refer to wisdom teeth that don’t grow normally as impacted.
If you are experiencing severe pain or discomfort because of your wisdom teeth, you should make an appointment to see us as quickly as possible. We will then check your teeth and advise whether an extraction is required.
If we feel you need wisdom teeth removal, we will start by carrying out an x-ray of your mouth to get a clear picture of what’s in store.
If you have an impacted wisdom tooth, it is not necessary that it will need removal. In some instances, impacted wisdom teeth or ones that have not emerged completely can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, pericoronitis, cellulitis, abscess as well as cysts and benign growths. The good thing is treatment with antibiotics and antiseptic mouthwash can address many of these problems. Removing a wisdom tooth becomes an option when no other line of treatment works.
