Wisdom teeth surgical removal

---

At DentalCare Clinics, we offer pain-free surgical removal of wisdom teeth under local anesthesia or while you sleep, with a highly experienced dentist.  

Whether it's a straightforward extraction or a complex impacted wisdom tooth removal, our highly experienced dental team handles both with precision and care. 

 Sedation or sleep dentistry is readily available for nervous patients, and our staff will be on hand to clearly explain every facet of the process. Once the wisdom teeth are removed, we will ensure you receive informed post-treatment advice for maintaining the health of your teeth and gums.  

Once we have removed any problematic wisdom teeth, our compassionate staff will ensure you receive a personalised after care package. Recovery times will vary, depending on the extent of the work that was required. Here are a few general practices you can take to aid the recovery process:

• Do not smoke in the days following the surgery
• Do not use mouthwash or gargle – this may irritate the gums where the surgery has taken place
• Do not touch the stitches in your gum with your tongue or fingers
• Avoid food that has seeds or granules that could result in the stitches coming undone

  Wisdom teeth are the 3rd molar teeth, the big ones on the back of our mouth. Not everyone will experience these third molars in the same way—some might have them grow without any issue, while for others, they can cause significant discomfort or dental problems. If there is insufficient space in your jaw for wisdom teeth to erupt normally, it can become impacted.  Here are just a few examples of the issues that can result from impacted wisdom teeth:

• Infections- Swollen gums, Bad breath, Jaw pain
• Overcrowding of teeth – which could prevent successful orthodontics
• Cysts around a tooth and Tender gums
• Resorption – resulting in Damage in adjacent teeth
• Ulcers and Difficulty cleaning teeth

Removing problematic wisdom teeth early can prevent potential issues and provide immediate relief for these symptoms. 

With an initial consultation, our experience dentists at DentalCare Clinics will be able to advise if any of your wisdom teeth are impacted or likely to be cause problems in the future.  

If you believe your wisdom teeth might cause your dental discomfort, don’t wait. Act now and book a consultation with us to discuss the best course of action for your dental health. 

Our staff will conduct a detailed assessment and get to the root cause of the problem, keeping you informed every step of the way. 

It is important to diagnose wisdom teeth that could result in crowding and impacting early. Removing at an earlier stage can eliminate discomfort and costly surgeries that may be needed further down the line.
