What is it?
Our priority is always to save the tooth. But badly decayed, broken or loose teeth may need to be removed.
When wisdom teeth have no room, they can stay impacted and cause pain, swelling and decay in the neighbouring tooth. In that case their position is assessed with an X-ray and they are removed in a planned way.
Who is it for?
- Teeth too damaged to save
- Wisdom teeth causing pain or swelling
- Making space for orthodontic treatment
How does it work?
- Examination and X-ray
- Local anaesthesia
- Extraction
- Aftercare advice and check-up
Frequently asked questions
What should I do after an extraction?
For the first 24 hours, avoid spitting, smoking and hot drinks to help healing. We give you written aftercare instructions.
Should every wisdom tooth be removed?
No. Wisdom teeth that have come in properly and can be cleaned can stay. Those that cause problems, or are likely to, are removed.
