What is Wisdom Tooth Removal?
Wisdom tooth removal is a common dental procedure performed to extract one or more of the third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. These teeth typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties and can often lead to issues if there isn’t enough space in the jaw for them to grow properly. When wisdom teeth become impacted (trapped beneath the gums), grow at an angle, or crowd other teeth, they may cause pain, infection, or even damage to neighbouring teeth, necessitating removal.
The procedure for wisdom tooth extraction varies depending on whether the tooth has fully erupted or is impacted. In many cases, a minor surgical procedure is needed to access and remove the impacted tooth. Wisdom tooth removal not only alleviates immediate discomfort but also prevents potential future issues, making it an important preventive measure for long-term dental health. If you’re experiencing discomfort or suspect an issue with your wisdom teeth, consult our experienced team for professional advice and a safe, effective extraction process.
Types of Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom tooth extraction can vary depending on the positioning and condition of the tooth. There are two main types of wisdom tooth extraction procedures: simple extraction and surgical extraction. Understanding the differences can help you know what to expect when removing your wisdom teeth.
Simple Extraction
A simple extraction is performed when the wisdom tooth has fully erupted through the gum and is easily accessible. This procedure is generally quicker and involves less recovery time. The dentist numbs the area and removes the tooth with specialised tools.
Surgical Extraction
When a wisdom tooth is impacted (still beneath the gum line or partially erupted), a wisdom tooth surgery is required. In this more complex procedure, the dentist may need to make an incision in the gum to access the tooth. Surgical extractions are often used for wisdom teeth that are angled, impacted, or located close to the jawbone.
Both types of wisdom tooth extraction aim to relieve pain and prevent future dental issues. If you’re experiencing discomfort from your wisdom teeth, our team can assess the best approach for safe and effective removal.
Benefits of Removing Wisdom Teeth
Why Wisdom Tooth Extraction is Beneficial for Your Oral Health
Prevents Crowding and Misalignment
Wisdom teeth often cause overcrowding by pushing against other teeth, which can misalign your bite and impact your smile. Extracting these teeth helps to maintain the alignment of your teeth and jaw.
Reduces Risk of Infection and Decay
Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can create pockets that trap bacteria and food particles, leading to infections or decay. Removing these teeth lowers the risk of infection and associated dental complications.
Alleviates Pain and Discomfort
Wisdom teeth that grow at an angle or are impacted often cause pain and swelling in the gums and jaw. Extraction relieves this discomfort, allowing you to enjoy a pain-free, healthy smile.
Protects Nearby Teeth
Over time, impacted wisdom teeth can exert pressure on adjacent molars, leading to damage or increased susceptibility to decay. Extracting wisdom teeth preserves the health of neighbouring teeth.
If your wisdom teeth are causing issues or you want to prevent potential complications, wisdom tooth extraction may be the right choice. Consult with our experienced dental team to discuss the benefits and determine the best approach for your dental health.
