Wisdom Tooth

Adults often become aware of the appearance of their wisdom teeth between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five. These teeth often show up in the mouth's back corners. This third set of teeth has the power to push out the previous ones when they erupt. As a result, your oral hygiene may also deteriorate.

Because most people either don't have enough room in their mouths or have other problems, wisdom tooth extractions are common. This procedure is carried out in the same manner as any other dental extraction. You may discuss your alternatives and the reasons for the extraction with our Brampton dentist at Bramdale Dental. The procedure will be carried out with little discomfort using sedation and a local anesthetic.

If your tooth has completely erupted, our Brampton dental office may be able to conduct a simple extraction. A tooth may be easily extracted by cutting it into tiny pieces or retrieving it whole with forceps. However, since impacted wisdom teeth are so common, a surgical extraction is often necessary. A little incision is made along the gum line to reveal the tooth and remove any surrounding bone while removing a wisdom tooth. You could need stitches or sutures. To stop the bleeding, someone will hand you some gauze to bite on. During the first several days, some edema and bleeding are normal. If you are feeling anxious about your wisdom teeth, get in touch with our Brampton dentist office right away.
