Extractions & Wisdom Tooth Removal in Mississauga

A wisdom tooth extraction is a small surgical procedure done to remove one or all the wisdom teeth at the same time. Wisdom teeth are usually extracted when they do not have room to grow, which causes discomfort, pain, and infections. Usually, the pain is so great that there is no option but the removal of the tooth. It becomes necessary for the dentist or an oral surgeon to perform a wisdom tooth extraction. However, wisdom teeth removal is also indicated even if the wisdom teeth are not currently causing any issues. This is because they may cause serious problems in the future and thus are usually recommended for removal before any of these problems have a chance to arise. You may also need to remove the wisdom teeth sometimes as part of braces treatment.

The Process of Removing Wisdom Teeth

Consultation with the dentist: firstly, our dentist or oral surgeon will check your wisdom teeth and gums. If you have a lot of pain, then we will provide you with the necessary medicines for a few days and suggest you take X-rays to know the condition and position of your teeth.
Procedure: In wisdom tooth removal, the dentist does anaesthesia treatment, in which you will be awake but will not feel pain in your mouth.
The surgeon makes a small cut to reach the wisdom tooth. In case the wisdom teeth do not fully come in or are stuck in the gum n they have to cut bone around the teeth.
After wisdom tooth removal, the area is gently cleaned and stitched.

Why is Wisdom Teeth Removal Important?

There are many reasons why you need to remove wisdom teeth, which are mentioned below.

1. Impacted Teeth: The wisdom teeth need space to develop, but in some cases, wisdom teeth do not get enough space to develop properly. Due to this, the wisdom teeth can get stuck in the gum line and can become the cause of pain, infection, or swelling.
2. Crowding: If your mouth doesn’t have enough room, wisdom teeth can press against nearby teeth, leading to shifting or misalignment.
3. Cavities and Gum Disease: Because wisdom teeth sit at the very back, they’re harder to clean. This makes them more likely to develop cavities or gum disease over time.
4. Infection or Inflammation: When a wisdom tooth only partly breaks through the gums, it leaves a small gap where bacteria can sneak in, causing inflammation or infection.
