Wisdom Teeth Removal Perth
Are your wisdom teeth giving you pain?
Wisdom Teeth Removal at Perth Dental Rooms
Wisdom teeth may cause pain, swelling, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. At Perth Dental Rooms, we assess the position of your wisdom teeth and recommend monitoring, treatment or removal based on your symptoms and clinical needs.
Some wisdom teeth do not have enough space to emerge normally. They may grow at an angle, partly emerge through the gum or remain impacted below the gum line.
Removal may be recommended when a wisdom tooth is causing an existing problem or when clinical assessment identifies a significant risk of future complications. Your dentist will explain the expected benefits, risks, alternatives and recovery process before treatment.
PROBLEMS WISDOM TEETH CAUSE
Some impacted or poorly positioned wisdom teeth may affect adjacent teeth. Their position may make them difficult to clean, increasing the risk of decay or gum inflammation.
Problems associated with impacted or partly erupted wisdom teeth may include:
- Painful gum inflammation
- Cysts – fluid-filled sacs in jawbone, which can damage the teeth, bone, and nerves
Wisdom teeth may sometimes contribute to infection in the surrounding gum or tissues. Prompt dental assessment is recommended if you experience increasing pain, swelling, fever, or difficulty opening your mouth.
Signs You Should Have Your Wisdom Teeth Assessed
Arrange a dental assessment if you experience any of the following symptoms:
- Toothache
- Swelling and pain in the jaw
- Bleeding gums
- Swollen gums
- Bad breath
- Bad taste in your mouth
- Difficulty opening your mouth
THE WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL PROCEDURE
The procedure will depend on the position of the tooth, its roots and the surrounding tissues. Some wisdom teeth are removed through a routine extraction, while impacted teeth may require a surgical procedure. Treatment and recovery times vary between patients. Your dentist will explain what to expect after reviewing your examination and dental images.
If the tooth is lodged in the gum, removal is more complicated and the procedure and recovery will take longer.
Sedation options may be available for suitable patients. Your dentist will discuss the available options, suitability, benefits and possible risks before treatment.
