Wisdom Teeth Removal
Are Your Wisdom Teeth Causing Problems?
Wisdom teeth typically begin emerging and pushing through the gum line during late teens or early twenties. However, in some cases, these large molars become impacted, leading to noticeable discomfort and potential infection. If you’re experiencing pain in the back of your mouth or struggling to maintain proper oral hygiene due to wisdom teeth, its advisable to consult with the dentists at Mount Barker Dentists before more severe symptoms develop.
Relief for Severe Wisdom Tooth Pain
While over-the-counter pain relievers can alleviate mild, short-term pain, extraction may become necessary to prevent ongoing discomfort or future complications like gum infections, cysts, or dental overcrowding. In simple cases, numbing the gums with a local anaesthetic suffices for wisdom teeth removal.
However, for more complex or deeply impacted cases, a surgical procedure may be required. Dr. Evan, our Adelaide dentist, routinely performs wisdom teeth removal, often using general anaesthesia at local hospitals for deeper extractions.
Options For Wisdom Teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to a range of oral health issues, such as gum disease, infections, and cavities. They can also cause damage to neighbouring teeth. In many cases, the solution involves the removal of these impacted wisdom teeth. Wisdom tooth extraction requires the expertise of an oral surgeon who specialises in oral and maxillofacial surgery to ensure a safe and effective procedure.
