What Are Wisdom Teeth?
The term wisdom teeth refers the the third set of adult molars that typically erupt between the ages of 17-25. The reason that they can be a concern is that many people do not have enough space to accomodate them, wish can lead to:
- Pressure or pain
- Infection or swelling around them
- Damage to adjacent teeth
- Crowding and shifting of neighbouring teeth
- Cysts around unerupted teeth and bone damage
- Difficulty cleaning the area properly
When one or more of these issues occure, your dentist may recommend having your wisdom teeth extracted (removed).
When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?
You may need wisdom teeth removal if you experience:
- Constant and persistent jaw pain or headache
- Swelling or bleeding around your molars
- Bad breath or foul taste in your mouth
- Impacted wisdom teeth which can be diagnosed using x-rays
- Feeling of pressure or crowding of posterior teeth
- Recurrent infections around partially erupted teeth
Early intervention can prevent complications and make removal easier.
Types of Wisdom Teeth Extractions We Perform
When wisdom teeth are fully erupted (not impacted), they are much easier to access. This type of removal is fairly simple and is often completed in a short appointment using local anaestheric (dental freezing).
When wisdom teeth are impacted or only partially erupted, they may reqiure a more surgical approach for extraction. By using advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques, our dentists are often able to minimize discomfort and reduce recovery time.
Comfort & Sedation Options
For many people, the idea of having their wisdom teeth removed can be frightening. We completely understand that not everyone is comfortable with the idea of having teeth pulled. At Bayview Smile Centre, we offer several sedation options for your comfort.
- Local anesthesia (dental freezing)
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
- Oral sedation (a pill you take prior to your appointment)
- IV sedation f (a more profound level of sedation for anxiousb patients or more complex and longer appointments)
Your comfort and safety are closely monitored throughout the procedure.
What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Removal
We will thoroughly examine your wisdom teeth using digital xrays or 3D imaging. This allows us to deteriming the exact position and whether or not the teeth are impacted.
We will clearly explain our recommended treatment, including all options for sedation, expectations for the day of the appointment and recovery, as well as fees (and any insurance concerns).
Your extraction procedure will be performed by one of our surgical dentists, using state of the art techniques to minimize trauma and speed up the healing process.
After your extraction appointment, you will be given clear and detailed instructions to promote healing and reduce the risk of swelling or post-operative discomfort.
Most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few days.
Recovery After Wisdom Teeth Removal
Typical recovery includes:
- Mild facial swelling for 2–3 days
- Temporary soreness or stiffness in the jaw
- Only soft foods for the first few days
- Smoking or drinking through a straw should be avoided during healing to prevent post-op complications
We provide full aftercare support and are always available if questions or complications arise.
