Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom Teeth Extraction at The Avenues Family Dental
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop, often emerging in late teens or early adulthood. While some people experience no issues with their wisdom teeth, others may face complications such as crowding, pain, or infection, making extraction necessary.
Why Wisdom Teeth Are Removed
At The Avenues Family Dental, our experienced team may recommend wisdom tooth removal if you experience:
- Pain or Discomfort: Wisdom teeth can cause pain as they press against adjacent teeth or fail to emerge properly.
- Crowding: Limited space in your jaw can lead to misalignment of teeth.
- Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth that do not fully emerge may become trapped in the gum or jawbone.
- Infection or Decay: Partially erupted teeth are harder to clean, increasing the risk of gum infection or decay.
What to Expect During Your Wisdom Teeth Extraction
We prioritise your comfort and well-being throughout the procedure. Our step-by-step process includes:
- Consultation and Assessment: We’ll examine your teeth using X-rays to determine the position and condition of your wisdom teeth.
- Anaesthesia Options: We offer local anaesthesia, sedation, or general anaesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience tailored to your needs.
- Extraction Procedure: Using advanced techniques, we carefully remove the problematic teeth with minimal discomfort.
- Aftercare Guidance: Post-procedure, we provide detailed instructions to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications.
Caring for Your Smile Post-Extraction
Recovery from wisdom tooth removal typically takes a few days. Common aftercare tips include:
- Avoiding hard or chewy foods.
- Keeping the extraction site clean as directed.
- Managing swelling with cold compresses.
- Following prescribed medication for pain relief.
