Wisdom Teeth Removal in Perth

Before any treatments are discussed or planned, we’ll take a panoramic X-Ray to assess the positioning of your wisdom teeth and whether they could prove to be problematic. Fortunately, at eDental, we have an on-site OPG so you can have any required X-Rays taken on the day of your initial consultation.

Once we have taken this X-Ray image, we can determine if your wisdom teeth need to be removed or not.

We find that in most wisdom teeth cases, we can treat them at our purpose-built surgery in Rivervale, rather than sending you to a hospital.

In certain cases, you may require a referral to an oral surgeon for treatment under a general anaesthetic. If this is the case for you, then pain relief medications or oral antibiotics can be prescribed as an interim measure.

Removal of Wisdom Teeth Can Be The Best Plan of Defence

Many of us have our wisdom teeth removed in young adulthood, as this prevents unwanted problems and issues from occurring later in life and from impacting our surrounding teeth.

Some of the Problems That Can Arise From Keeping Your Wisdom Teeth Include;

High Levels of Pain if the Wisdom Teeth Begin to Move
The Formation of Painful Cysts
Crooked, Misaligned, Tipped Teeth, and Dental Arch Crowding
The Onset of Tooth Decay on the Otherwise Healthy Second Molars
Excruciating Pain From Gum Infections and Difficulty Cleaning the Site
Weakening of the Jaw Bone Due to Bone Loss From Infections
Restricted Jaw Movement

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need My Wisdom Teeth Extracted?

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth at the end of the upper and lower jaws. The medical name for wisdom teeth is “third molars”, and there are usually four of them. Wisdom teeth ordinarily grow (or erupt) through the gums during the late teens or early twenties. As they grow, wisdom teeth are often obstructed by the other teeth. The lack of space tends to make it difficult to emerge in a favourable position. As such, they can emerge at an angle, in the wrong place, or only emerge partially. Wisdom teeth that grow through this way are known as “impacted”. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, infection or damage to the teeth next to them. If the gum around the wisdom tooth is swollen, the jaw may become stiff and sore. Infection at the back of the mouth can cause bad breath and a bad taste. The surgical removal of one or more wisdom teeth can relieve these problems. The removal of the wisdom teeth does not usually improve crookedness or crowding of other teeth. Those who have problems such as infection, cysts or tumours, tooth decay or gum disease around a wisdom tooth should think about having it removed. Please consult your dentist to see if having the wisdom teeth extracted is the right treatment option for you.

How Do I Go About Getting My Wisdom Teeth Assessed?

You can book a consultation with a dentist to have them assess the issue and provide the most suitable options.

Does the Extraction Hurt a Lot?

No. While there may be some discomfort and post-operative healing process, an extraction usually hurts no more than a wound.

Is There a Way that I Can Be Sedated During the Treatment?

Yes. There are multiple sedation options you can avail. Please consult with your dentist to see which option will be best suited for you.

What Happens if I Leave it Until it Hurts?

Pain is usually a sign your body gives you to signify an underlying condition such as infection or periodontal disease. If left unattended, the condition can get acute and symptoms worsen.
