WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTION in Toronto

Safe and comfortable wisdom tooth removal by expert dentists

When Do You Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed?

Some dentists advise extracting wisdom teeth that fail to emerge fully. Often, removing wisdom teeth during young adulthood, typically between 15 to 22 years old, proves safer, simpler, and involves swifter recovery compared to extraction later in life. This is due to less developed roots, less dense jaw bone, and faster post-surgery recovery. Hence, many young adults preemptively opt for wisdom teeth removal to avoid future complications.

According to the American Dental Association, indications for wisdom teeth extraction include:

Swollen gums

Eruption of wisdom teeth can lead to tender, swollen gums, hindering proper cleaning during brushing.

Gum bleeding

Alongside inflammation, bleeding gums during brushing can indicate the emergence of wisdom teeth.

Formation of cysts

Prolonged neglect of wisdom teeth can prompt cyst formation, potentially damaging the mouth and jaw.

Jaw pain or stiffness

Improperly emerging wisdom teeth can alter the bite, causing pain and stiffness in the jaw.

Pain in the rear of the mouth

This common symptom suggests emerging or problematic wisdom teeth, with pain varying from intermittent to persistent.

Sinus problems

Growing wisdom teeth can exert pressure on the sinuses, leading to sinus pain, headaches, and congestion.

Earaches or headaches

Wisdom teeth-related discomfort may extend beyond the mouth, causing pain in adjacent areas such as the ears or head.

Tooth misalignment

Despite space constraints, wisdom teeth continue growing, potentially causing overcrowding and crooked teeth. Extraction becomes necessary to alleviate this issue.

Dentists typically conduct X-rays to assess potential overcrowding before wisdom teeth fully emerge. Seeking timely evaluation and, if necessary, extraction can prevent complications such as the need for braces due to tooth misalignment.

Deciding on wisdom teeth extraction can be challenging; consult your dentist or oral surgeon to find out the best course of action for you.
