Welcome to gentledentistry in Erindale! Our compassionate team are dedicated to providing exceptional dental care. One of our specific services is wisdom teeth removal, ensuring you experience a smooth and comfortable procedure.
What are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars located at the back of your mouth. They typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. Due to limited space in the mouth, wisdom teeth often cause problems such as pain, infection, and alignment issues.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: When there isn’t enough room for the wisdom teeth to emerge properly, they can become impacted, growing at an angle or failing to fully erupt.
- Partially Erupted Wisdom Teeth: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create an opening for bacteria to enter around the tooth, leading to infection.
- Crowding and Alignment Issues: Wisdom teeth can push against other teeth, causing crowding and shifting of your dental alignment.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
- Prevent Pain: Avoid discomfort and swelling caused by impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth. Removing them can alleviate these symptoms and prevent future issues.
- Reduce Risk of Infection: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create pockets where food and bacteria get trapped, leading to painful infections. Removing them helps maintain better oral hygiene.
- Protect Adjacent Teeth: Impacted wisdom teeth can exert pressure on nearby teeth, causing damage or alignment problems. Removing them helps preserve the health and position of your other teeth.
- Improve Oral Health: Maintaining optimal oral hygiene becomes easier without the presence of problematic wisdom teeth, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
- Initial Consultation: Schedule an appointment with one of our dentists to evaluate your wisdom teeth. During this visit, we will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth.
- Customised Treatment Plan: Based on the evaluation, we create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We will discuss the procedure, potential risks, and what to expect during recovery.
- Comfortable Procedure: On the day of the procedure, our team ensures your comfort and well-being.
- Post-Procedure Care: After the removal, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimise discomfort. We will provide guidance on managing pain, swelling, and any potential complications.
- Follow-Up Appointments: We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and ensure proper healing. Our team is available to address any concerns or questions you may have during the healing process.
