Why Do You Need Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Wisdom teeth are located at the back of your upper and lower jaw and usually emerge between the age of 17 and 25. This makes them the last teeth to emerge. However, not everyone will experience the emergence of wisdom teeth, as sometimes they may not grow at all.
Often, there is insufficient space in one’s mouth to accommodate these late-blooming wisdom teeth. As a result, they become ‘impacted’ or otherwise known as being ‘stuck’ in an awkward position. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause many issues. These may include pain and swelling, as well as the promotion of tooth decay.
Some of the other reasons we may recommend wisdom teeth removal are:
- Damage to surrounding teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth can harm neighbouring teeth, mostly the 2nd molars. They can become more prone to dental issues such as decay, gum disease and even bone loss
- Increased risk of infection: When wisdom teeth are impacted, more food and bacteria than usual can get lodged under your gum line. This trapped food debris and bacteria can lead to infection. If left untreated, it can become severe and cause a lot of pain
- Tumours and cysts: Whilst this isn’t very common, cysts and tumours appearing in surrounding areas of the mouth can occur
What to Expect When Having Wisdom Teeth Removed
We have performed several wisdom tooth removals in the comfort of our Myrtleford dental practice. The wisdom teeth extraction is generally performed using a local anaesthetic to ensure there’s no pain.
The wisdom teeth removal procedure involves the following steps:
- The process begins with a digital x-ray of your jaw to assess whether your wisdom teeth need extraction.
- If we think your wisdom teeth need removing, we will provide you with all the information you need before we book you in for the procedure.
- Usually, your wisdom teeth will get removed with you This means you will be fully conscious during the procedure but will not experience any pain and will be relaxed because of the sedation. So, it'll all be over and done without you feeling or seeing a thing!
- After a short in-clinic recovery period, you will be able to go home without the inconvenience of needing to spend the night in the hospital.
Our team is here to support you every step of the way, and our care extends long beyond the removal process itself. We provide you with all the post-operative instructions and medicine required for a speedy recovery.
