Relieve Discomfort With Wisdom Teeth Removal

Mouths undergo various changes and milestones throughout life, with the appearance of wisdom teeth being one of the most significant. If your third molars, also known as wisdom teeth, are causing you or someone you love pain, don’t hesitate to reach out to our dentist at North Queen Dental in Etobicoke for help!

Who Needs Wisdom Teeth Removal?

While not everyone will need these teeth extracted, many patients do to eradicate pain and prevent various dental conditions. You may be a candidate for wisdom teeth removal if you fall into one or more of the following categories:

• Teens & Young Adults (Ages 15-21): Our dentist often starts screening for impacted wisdom teeth during late adolescence.
• Patients With Trapped Wisdom Teeth: Wisdom teeth that are trapped below the gums or growing at an angle can cause irritation to your surrounding gumline and teeth and can lead to cysts, tumors, jaw pain, and more.
• Patients With Impacted Wisdom Teeth: If one or more of your wisdom teeth are impacted, it can lead to the formation of a cyst on or near the tooth, which may damage the roots of your adjacent teeth or destroy bone density.

How To Prepare For Treatment & After-Care Steps To Follow

If you’re having your wisdom teeth removed, these tips can help you during and after the procedure:

 Before Removal

• Follow Pre-Procedure Instructions: Ensure you comply with any instructions our dentist gives you regarding medication and organizing transport for the surgery day.
