Affordable Wisdom Teeth Removal: What are They?

For most adults, wisdom teeth usually erupt in the late teens or early twenties in the back of the mouth. Sometimes, they only partially appear, or do so in a way that presses against nearby teeth or bone, leaving a gum flap over the tooth. An experienced wisdom tooth dentist from our clinic will expertly remove the roots and crown, minimising discomfort and preventing them from impacting the rest of your teeth.

When Is Wisdom Tooth Extraction Required?

You may require wisdom teeth removal if you notice a range of uncomfortable symptoms in your mouth, including:

• Repeated gum infections
• Tooth decay
• Damage to the back of your cheeks or gums
• Difficulting in cleaning your teeth due to discomfort

Pain-Free Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Impacted wisdom teeth become stuck against the bones in your jaw or your other teeth, causing damage and severe pain or infection. If you experience these symptoms, you may require our experienced wisdom tooth dentist to perform a wisdom tooth removal procedure. Symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth include:

• Red or swollen gums around your molars
• Tender gums that bleed easily
• Pain in your jaw
• Persistent swelling around your jaw
• Persistent bad breath
• An unpleasant taste in your mouth
• Difficulty opening your mouth wide

Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure

Our surgeons and nurses have experience with wisdom teeth removal for all ages, using advanced techniques and personalised care to ensure the procedure is as painless as possible. What you can expect:

• We will administer a local anaesthetic or a general anaesthetic, depending on your medical history
• The dental surgeon makes an incision to expose the tooth
• We remove excess bone using precision tools, sometimes cutting the tooth into multiple pieces
• Stitches may be necessary for abnormal roots
• We apply gauze over the site to prevent excessive bleeding

Recovery After Wisdom Teeth Removal

You’re likely to experience bleeding for the first twenty-four hours after our affordable wisdom teeth removal surgery, and mild pain for a few days. Our Northern Beaches dentist will provide you with explicit instructions on how to replace the gauze while instructing you to refrain from spitting, which may irritate the wound. After your wisdom tooth surgery in the Northern Beaches, we will prescribe mild pain relief medication and instructions on how to apply an ice pack against the jaw to control swelling.
