Signs You May Need Wisdom Tooth Treatment
- Pain or tenderness at the back of the jaw
- Swelling or redness around the gums near the back molars
- Difficulty opening your mouth fully
- Bad breath or an unpleasant taste, often from trapped food or infection
- Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
- Jaw stiffness or headaches near the back of the jaw
What Happens During Treatment
- Examination & X-ray – assessing the position of the wisdom tooth and its impact on surrounding teeth and bone
- Treatment planning – deciding whether monitoring, treatment, or extraction is the right approach
- Local anaesthesia – the area is fully numbed before any procedure
- Extraction – the tooth is carefully removed, with technique depending on whether it’s impacted or fully emerged
- Aftercare guidance – clear instructions on managing swelling, discomfort, and healing over the following days
Why Wisdom Teeth Are Often Removed
- Impaction — the tooth is trapped under the gum or bone and can’t emerge properly
- Lack of space – the jaw doesn’t have enough room, causing crowding or pressure on nearby teeth
- Recurring infection – partially emerged teeth can trap bacteria and cause repeated gum infections
- Cyst formation – impacted teeth can occasionally lead to cysts affecting the jawbone
Who This Is For
- Patients experiencing pain, swelling, or discomfort at the back of the jaw
- Anyone whose dentist has flagged impacted or problematic wisdom teeth on an X-ray
- Patients preparing for orthodontic treatment where wisdom teeth may interfere with results
