Wisdom Tooth
Relieve wisdom tooth pain and prevent complications with professional assessment and removal.
Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the back of the mouth, usually appearing in late teens or early twenties. They often do not have enough space to grow properly, causing them to become impacted — stuck under the gum or growing at an angle. This can cause pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth. Not all wisdom teeth need removal — the dentist will take an X-ray and assess whether removal is necessary.
Signs You May Need This Treatment
- 1Pain or aching at the back of the mouth
- 2Swollen, tender, or bleeding gums around the wisdom tooth area
- 3Difficulty opening the mouth fully
- 4Jaw stiffness or swelling
- 5Repeated food trapping at the back teeth causing cavities
- 6Wisdom tooth growing sideways or at an angle (impaction)
- 7Infection or abscess near the wisdom tooth
What Happens During Your Visit
Consultation & X-Ray
The dentist will examine the area and take an X-ray to see the position and roots of the wisdom tooth. This helps determine whether removal is recommended.
Treatment Planning & Discussion
The dentist will explain the findings, whether extraction is recommended, and what the procedure involves. Simple extractions can usually be done at the clinic.
Local Anaesthesia
The area is numbed with a local anaesthetic injection so you do not feel pain during the procedure. You may feel pressure but not sharp pain.
Extraction
The dentist carefully loosens and removes the wisdom tooth. For impacted wisdom teeth, a small incision in the gum may be needed. The socket is then cleaned.
Post-Extraction Care
Stitches may be placed if needed. The dentist will give you aftercare instructions including what to eat, medications, and what to watch out for during recovery.
