Wisdom Teeth Extractions in Brantford, ON

Symptoms to Watch Out For

Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of permanent adult teeth, appearing at the very back of the mouth behind the second molars. They typically erupt between the late teens and mid twenties, though some people get them earlier, later, or not at all. While some wisdom teeth come in without causing problems, there are many reasons why they may need to be removed:

• Growing in crooked or becoming stuck against the neighbouring tooth
  
• Lack of space, causing painful crowding
  
• Trapping food due to positioning, leading to decay
  
• Increased risk of infection in impacted teeth

The Wisdom Tooth Removal Process

Examining Your Teeth

Before scheduling an extraction, we take detailed X-rays to see how the teeth are developing and assess their roots. This helps us determine if removal is necessary, whether it can be done with a simple extraction, or if surgery is required.

Removal

Depending on your preferences and the dentist’s professional recommendation, local freezing, sedation, or anaesthesia may be used. Our goal is to use minimally invasive techniques for a gentle and efficient procedure, promoting faster healing.

Aftercare

We may recommend having a friend or family member accompany you to your appointment, drive you home, and stay with you during recovery. You will receive aftercare instructions with clear guidance on what to do and avoid to ensure the quickest, most comfortable healing process.
