Wisdom Teeth Removal

Bald Hills wisdom teeth removal in Brisbane

A very common problem for younger people in their teens and early 20’s is pain in the back of the jaw caused by erupted wisdom teeth. Unfortunately, these teeth will not always grow smoothly and may push inwards and place pressure on the rest of the jaw. It is very common that patients may experience significant pain during this process. But it is very treatable.

Dr Emad Hanna’s team at Bald Hills Dental in Brisbane will assess your jaw and determine if a wisdom tooth extraction is necessary.

How will I know if an extraction is needed?

We always recommend regular checkups during your teens and early twenties to monitor your wisdom teeth. The dentists at Bald Hills Dental, Brisbane will assess whether your teeth appear to be overcrowded due to the pressure that the impacted wisdom tooth places on your other teeth.

We will perform a routine X-Ray to determine if the impacted wisdom tooth is an immediate issue or even if it may be in the future.

Can impacted wisdom teeth cause other problems if they aren’t extracted

Not all wisdom teeth need to be extracted. It is important for you to understand how the wisdom teeth are growing and if they may become an issue in the future. However, other issues can arise if impacted wisdom teeth are not extracted.

 

If the wisdom tooth breaks the gum within your mouth, this can cause serious problems and discomfort. The area can become swollen, irritated and even infected. It is very important to treat impacted wisdom teeth before they become a painful issue. The procedure of extraction is very routine and predictable and our team at Bald Hills Dental in Brisbane can guide you through every step.

Other issues include causing tooth decay, changing the alignment of your smile and affecting the health of other teeth.

What are the symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth?

There are several symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth that you need to be mindful of. These symptoms can arise quickly and get worse if left untreated. Such as: swelling of the area, red and inflamed gums near the wisdom tooth, pain in the area, a light colored discharge coming from the gum, difficulty opening your mouth and swallowing, fever and even bad breath.

 

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms we strongly urge you to get in contact with Bald Hills Dental and organise a consultation so that we can help alleviate the pain and fix the issue.

How do Bald Hills Dental make extraction an easy process

Depending on the severity of your impacted wisdom teeth, Dr Emad Hanna’s team will ensure that if you are experiencing any discomfort or anxiety regarding your procedure, you may be offered sedation or IV Sedation to make your visit as comfortable as possible.

We ensure that after the routine procedure, we have provided you with pain relief medication and a checklist of methods to help numb the area as well as some useful tips to speed up the recovery process.

Impacted Wisdom Tooth
