Why Wisdom Teeth May Need to Be Removed

Wisdom-teeth-removal

Wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to come through, usually at the very back of the mouth. Some wisdom teeth grow into place without causing any problems. Others do not have enough room to come through properly, so they may grow at an angle, only partly emerge or remain trapped beneath the gum. This is known as an impacted wisdom tooth.

An impacted wisdom tooth can press against nearby teeth and make the area difficult to keep clean. Over time, this may lead to pain, swelling, tender gums, infection or tooth decay. In some cases, a cyst may also develop around the tooth.

Common signs of wisdom tooth problems can include:

During your wisdom tooth consultation at Dental Galleria, our dentist will carefully examine the area and may take an OPG X-ray. This allows us to see the position of your wisdom teeth and recommend the most suitable next step.

Wisdom tooth pain can be uncomfortable and may get worse if the area becomes inflamed or infected. Book a consultation with Dental Galleria near Ryde, and let our friendly team take a closer look.

Our dentist will check your wisdom teeth, talk through any symptoms and explain the next steps clearly. An X-ray may be recommended to see the position of the teeth and decide whether removal is needed.

Step 2.
X-rays and Treatment Planning

An X-ray may be taken to see the position of your wisdom teeth, including any teeth sitting beneath the gum. This helps us plan the safest and most suitable approach for your wisdom tooth removal.

Step 3.
Local Anaesthetic and Preparation

Before the procedure begins, the area will be carefully numbed with local anaesthetic. You should not feel pain during the removal, although some pressure or movement is normal. Our team will check that you are comfortable before continuing.

Step 4.
Tracking Progress

The removal process depends on how the wisdom tooth has grown. A fully emerged tooth may be removed gently from the socket, while an impacted tooth may require a small opening in the gum. Your dentist will explain the procedure beforehand, so you know what to expect.

Step 5.
Recovery and Aftercare

Once the tooth has been removed, stitches may be placed if needed. We will give you clear aftercare instructions covering eating, brushing, swelling and pain relief. Our team will also explain what is normal during recovery and when you should contact us for further support.
