What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars at the back of your mouth that usually appear in your late teens or early twenties. People often have 4 wisdom teeth, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom.
Since our diets have evolved over time, these teeth can now cause problems like crowding or pain. In many cases, our dentists may recommend removing them to keep your mouth healthy.
When Is an Extraction Necessary?
At Kedron Family Dental, we may advise wisdom teeth extraction in the situations below:
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
When your wisdom teeth do not have enough space to fully emerge or grow properly, they can become impacted, causing pain and potential damage to neighbouring teeth.
Pain or Discomfort
If your wisdom teeth are pushing against other teeth, causing crowding, or if they are partially erupted, creating a pocket where bacteria can accumulate, they can cause pain or discomfort.
Infection or Gum Disease
If your wisdom teeth are difficult to clean due to their location, they can be prone to infection or gum disease. This leads to swelling, pain, and potential damage to surrounding tissues.
Tooth Decay
Especially if they’re partially erupted, your wisdom teeth can be challenging to clean effectively, making them susceptible to decay and cavities.
Cysts or Tumors
In rare cases, cysts or tumors can form around impacted wisdom teeth, potentially causing damage to the jawbone and surrounding teeth.
Orthodontic Reasons
Wisdom teeth can cause overcrowding or shifting of adjacent teeth, potentially affecting the outcomes of orthodontic procedures.

What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Removal
The wisdom tooth removal process at Kedron Family Dental typically involves the following steps:
Consultation
Our dentist will conduct a thorough clinical examination, possibly including x-rays, to assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth. They will discuss the procedure, potential risks, and answer any questions you may have.
Anaesthesia
During surgery, you will be administered anaesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. The type of anaesthesia (local, sedation, or general) will depend on the complexity of the extraction and your comfort level.
Extraction
Our dentist will carefully remove the wisdom teeth. This may involve making an incision in the gum, removing any bone blocking access to the tooth, and dividing the tooth into sections for easier removal.
Stitching and Healing
After the extraction, stitches may be needed to close the incision. These stitches are often dissolvable and will not require removal. We place gauze over the extraction site to control bleeding, and you will be given postoperative care instructions.
Recovery
You will be monitored as the anaesthesia wears off, and once you are stable, you can arrange for someone to drive you home. The initial recovery period involves resting and following care instructions provided by your dentist.
Postoperative Care
You may experience some swelling and discomfort after the procedure. Pain medication, prescribed or over-the-counter, can help manage any pain. Following the postoperative instructions is crucial for a smooth recovery.
Follow-up Appointment
A follow-up review will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress. If you have any concerns, contact your dentist immediately.
