What is a Wisdom tooth?

It’s a posterior tooth that appears suddenly among teenagers and people in their early or mid-twenties.

In the process of evolving, wisdom teeth tend to affect other teeth thereby causing several problems such as swelling of the mouth, pain, and swelling of the gums, damage to the jaw, etc.

Wisdom teeth removal in Melbourne may become necessary and unavoidable when you are experiencing signs of tooth decay, tumour, infections and gum disease.

There are a high number of cases of Wisdom teeth removal in Melbourne. Thankfully, as one of the best experts in the city, we are here to ease your fears.

For the majority of people, wisdom tooth removal is a necessity. As a wisdom tooth grows, it may end up having to fight for space with the other teeth and this may cause unbearable pain and discomfort. We call this condition ‘impacted wisdom tooth’.

An impacted wisdom tooth is not just painful, it can also cause infections, damage the gums as well as other teeth or result in tooth decay. When this occurs you will need to seek wisdom teeth removal Melbourne surgery.

Impacted Wisdom Tooth Symptoms:

If you have the following symptoms, you are likely to have an impacted wisdom tooth:

  • Severe pain in the mouth which may cause throbbing sensation from the ear to the throat
  • Swollen gum especially at the back of the mouth where the new tooth is developing
  • Swollen cheek on the side of the wisdom tooth
  • Oral infection

The Reason for Removing Wisdom Teeth in Melbourne

First of all, we should point out that wisdom teeth do not serve any important function in the mouth. You would still be able to eat, talk and look the same without a wisdom tooth. However, wisdom teeth develop where there are already other teeth and for most people, there is just not enough space in the jaw for them. The fight for space as mentioned earlier results in pain or even infection and that is just the beginning of the different complications that may occur. Given such a risk it is best to find out the cost of wisdom teeth removal in Melbourne and have the troublesome tooth removed.

The Removal Process

If you are worried that it may be painful, there is no need to fear. Removal of an impacted wisdom tooth is done under anesthetic or even sedation. Just like ordinary tooth extraction, there is minimal discomfort.

The entire procedure should be done in 30 minutes to 1 hour time. The surgeon will either extract the tooth whole or remove it in sections depending on the assessment results. In some rare occasions, the bone may need to be removed to ease the extraction. Remember, the wisdom teeth removal cost in Melbourne at our clinic is quite affordable.

After Surgery

After the surgery, the patient will have to follow certain instructions which are usually given before the surgery and a reminder again after the surgery. It is best not to drive after the surgery especially if you had been sedated so arrange for someone to pick you up.

Management of the wound is important. You will be given a pad to bite on to encourage clotting of blood where the tooth has been removed. This is important because if there is no clot, you could develop severe pain as a result of a dry socket.

Pain killers will also be prescribed to manage the pain as the wound heals. You will also be given instructions on how to clean the area and maintain safe oral hygiene. In case of any complications, contact the surgeon immediately.
