Who needs wisdom teeth removal?
\n<\/h3>\n
Your wisdom teeth are located at the back of your mouth and are the last teeth to erupt in the gums. Most people\u2019s wisdom teeth appear between the ages of 17 and 25, and most of the time they don\u2019t cause problems. However, problems can occur if a wisdom tooth remains below the gum surface (impacted), if it pushes against your other teeth, or if there isn\u2019t enough space in your mouth, which can cause crowding.<\/p>\n
Wisdom teeth are not necessary for oral health. If you feel any pain or discomfort from your wisdom teeth, or if we notice any problems during your regular check-up, we\u2019ll recommend that you have them removed.<\/p>\n
We may also recommend early wisdom teeth removal for younger patients if there\u2019s a risk that your wisdom teeth may cause problems later in life. Wisdom tooth removal may also be recommended if you\u2019re having orthodontic treatment.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.13.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”35px||35px||true|” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” background_color=”#e8f5f5″ sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
How are wisdom teeth removed?<\/h3>\n
We\u2019ll explain what\u2019s involved in wisdom teeth removal during your consultation, so you can decide if it\u2019s the right choice for you. As well as using local anaesthetic to numb pain, we can offer more sedation options for anxious patients to help you feel calm and relaxed during the procedure.<\/p>\n
If your wisdom teeth have already erupted, we may be able to perform a simple extraction and gently remove them using forceps. If your wisdom tooth is impacted in your gum however, we\u2019ll need to perform oral surgery to open the gum and access the tooth, which may need to be removed in pieces.<\/p>\n
Wisdom tooth removal is easier with younger patients, as the tooth roots haven\u2019t yet fully formed and the surrounding bone is softer. The procedure has a greater risk of complications for older patients, including damage to nerves, bones and other teeth, but our experienced Melbourne dentists use the latest technologies to plan your treatment and minimise these risks.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”35px||35px||true|” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Post-treatment care<\/h3>\n
Your mouth will take some time to heal after a wisdom tooth is removed. You won\u2019t usually feel pain, but you may experience some discomfort or swelling, which can be managed by applying ice or taking pain relief and anti-inflammatory medication.<\/p>\n
We recommend that you avoid hard, crunchy and sticky foods for a few days, don\u2019t smoke, and drink plenty of water. You should resume brushing and flossing your teeth the day after the treatment, taking care to brush gently around the treated area.<\/p>\n
If you continue to experience pain, swelling, bleeding or other unexpected symptoms after a few days, call us on (03) 9650 0870 to make an emergency appointment at one of our Melbourne clinics.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/d-spa.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Wisdom-teeth-2-1024×683-1.jpeg” title_text=”Wisdom-teeth-2-1024×683″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”]* Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks.
