Our Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure
Moorooka Dental Care are experienced in safe and effective wisdom teeth removal procedures. Our process includes a comprehensive consultation, X-rays to determine the best course of action, and a variety of sedation options to help you feel comfortable during the procedure.
Initial Consultation & Treatment Plan
The process begins with an initial consultation at our clinic in Brisbane. During this visit, x-rays are taken to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and determine if removal is necessary. A tailored treatment plan is then developed for your specific needs.
Removal Procedure
Wisdom teeth removal in Brisbane is usually performed under local anaesthesia to numb the area. Sedation options are available for patients with anxiety about the procedure. During the surgery, our experienced dental team makes small incisions in the gums to remove teeth and bone if needed. Stitches and gauze are used to control bleeding after the procedure.
Recovery
Recovery from wisdom tooth removal typically takes about a week. Soft foods and rest are recommended during this period. Pain relief medications and cold packs help reduce swelling. Most patients feel better within a few days and can return to their usual activities. It’s important to brush and floss gently around the extraction sites to prevent infection.
What Problems Can Wisdom Teeth Cause?
Wisdom teeth can cause the worst dental problems. They can become so painful that it becomes impossible to chew without screaming.
Impacted teeth
This happens when there is not enough room for your wisdom tooth to erupt fully. It gets stuck in the gum tissue or jawbone and can’t come in. Impacted teeth can cause pain, swelling, and infection.
The worst thing you can ever do to an impacted wisdom tooth is to ignore it. It would be best if you visited a Moorooka dentist immediately after you notice this impacted tooth.
Crowding
Your teeth become crowded and misshapen. In worst-case scenarios, food particles get stuck in some tight corners. No matter how much you struggle, you won’t be able to get them out. Crowded teeth ruin your facial appearance.
Decay
Wisdom teeth are difficult to clean because they’re so far back in the mouth. This can lead to decay and cavities. A Moorooka dentist will help you clean the affected area, so you have no risk of decay.
Gum disease
If you ignore your wisdom tooth, it affects your gums. The tooth can weaken your gums and cause unnecessary bleeding.
Types of Wisdom Teeth
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
These are the most common yet frustrating wisdom teeth. They are so painful and must never be ignored. Impacted wisdom teeth are stuck in the gum tissue or jawbone and can’t come in. They can cause severe pain, swelling, and infection. You cannot handle the impaction on your own, so don’t think about doing it. Instead, visit a dentist as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more painful it gets.
Erupted Wisdom Teeth
This type of wisdom teeth has broken the gum line. The teeth can cause crowding and deterioration after erupting. Removing these teeth can be very tricky. Only a specialised dental surgeon can effectively remove them without any complications.
Note:Â Wisdom teeth can also be classified as being mesial or distal.
- Mesial wisdom teeth are the ones that come in first. They’re usually the least problematic.
- Distal wisdom teeth are the ones that come in last. They’re often the most problematic because they’re the hardest to reach and clean.
