What Wisdom Teeth Can Cause Problems
As the last adult teeth to appear, wisdom teeth often emerge in the late teens or early twenties. In some cases, they can remain under the gum or come through at an angle, which may lead to crowding, infection, or discomfort in the jaw. An assessment is always the first step, and in many cases, removal is not immediately necessary.
When to Seek Professional Advice
You may benefit from an evaluation if you notice any of the following:
- Pain or tenderness in the very back of the mouth
- Swelling or redness in the gum area behind your molars
- Jaw stiffness or an aching sensation
- Teeth starting to feel crowded or shifting position
- Difficulty cleaning the area at the back of your mouth
Care That Combines Skill, Comfort, and Precision
Our family-focused dental team is experienced in both straightforward and more complex molar extractions. We use state-of-the-art 3D scans and digital X-rays to assess each situation accurately, ensuring you understand your choices before any procedure begins. Every step is explained clearly so you feel confident and well-informed.
What to Expect
Your visit starts with a comprehensive consultation and oral examination. Digital imaging helps us determine the exact position of the tooth or teeth in question. We then discuss the available treatment options, which may include local anaesthetic or sedation. The removal process is carried out with care and precision, followed by personalised post-care instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Why People Choose to Have Wisdom Teeth Removed
Some choose to have their third molars removed to:
- Reduce the likelihood of crowding
- Prevent infection in hard-to-reach areas
- Ease persistent pain or swelling
- Make daily cleaning easier
We present these as potential benefits so you can make an informed decision about your oral health.
Looking After Your Smile Post-Extraction
General healing times vary, but many people resume normal activities after just a few days. Eating soft foods, using warm saltwater rinses, and avoiding smoking or alcohol can support recovery. Follow-up appointments allow us to check healing and answer any questions.
