Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth typically appear uneventfully between the age of 17 and 24, however, sometimes, they can come out much later than this. On occasion they can cause problems and may need to be removed. Our experienced dentists and oral surgeons can offer advice and support throughout every stage of the treatment.
Problems can develop sometimes with wisdom teeth, typically if they do not have enough space to emerge at the back of the mouth and as a result the tooth doesn’t come through properly (they are impacted). This can lead to pain, swelling or even infection. Poorly positioned wisdom teeth can contribute to tooth decay, gum disease and mouth infections.
When problems develop with wisdom teeth, an extraction or tooth removal may be needed. Extracting the wisdom tooth can help ease symptoms like pain and swelling. The procedure is performed by a dentist or an oral surgeon if the extraction involves some complexity.
Having a wisdom teeth extracted is one of the most common procedures performed in the UK. It’s usually performed in the late teens or twenties, when wisdom teeth begin to emerge. Our dentist will assess the tooth with x-rays if needed to determine the best course of action. If an extraction is advised, they will discuss what happens before, during and after the extraction procedure; they will also be able to address any questions you might have. They will also be able to explain the whole process with you, including whether the procedure needs a local or general anaesthetic.
If you are having problems with your wisdom tooth, please call us to discuss the best course of treatment with our dentist.
