What is the need for wisdom teeth removal?

Infection– when an impacted wisdom tooth starts pushing through the gums, an infection known as pericoronitis may occur. This will lead to infection or inflammation and you may feel pain, swelling and jaw stiffness.

Crowding– a wisdom tooth may push nearby teeth and cause the front teeth to become crowded.

Damage to nearby molars or impaction – an impacted wisdom tooth may push against the molars in front of it, which can have serious consequences like decay or even nerve death.

Cysts – impacted wisdom teeth may lead to the formation of a large sack of fluid known as a cyst.

Can I go to sleep for my wisdom teeth removal?

Wisdom teeth removal can be relatively simple. A lot of wisdom teeth can be removed while you are awake with local anaesthetic. Other forms of sedation are available to relieve anxiety about the procedure. At Bayview dental we offer oral sedation dentistry, intravenous (IV) sleep dentistry, and general anaesthetic services.

Oral sedation dentistry involves taking a few tablets one hour prior to your dental treatment. This allows you to be much more relaxed when you are completing the wisdom tooth extraction. Intravenous sleep dentistry is performed by our sedationist at the comfort of our own clinic – this allows you to fall asleep and not remember the procedure. General anaesthetic services are available in a hospital setting away from the clinic.

How will I feel after the wisdom tooth extraction?

After the operation you may have pain and swelling which could last up to a few days. You’ll be prescribed painkillers and antibiotics generally; however, the swelling will make it difficult for you to open your mouth wide and you will need to eat soft foods until you feel comfortable to do otherwise. There will be stitches that generally dissolve on their own and playing with them with your tongue will be probably the greatest annoyance.
