We want to be sure you fully understand the procedure and feel comfortable before proceeding with treatment.

Simple vs. Impacted Wisdom Tooth Removal
A simple extraction is when the Sydney dental surgeon pulls out a wisdom tooth without having to do much to it. An impacted tooth needs to be surgically-exposed by opening up the gum and bone before removing the tooth. We do both procedures here at Toothsome!

Reasons for Wisdom Teeth Removal:
Wisdom teeth are located far back in your mouth where you may struggle to properly floss and brush them. If you can’t keep your wisdom teeth clean, you’re more likely to develop problems that will lead to tooth extraction, anyway. Wisdom teeth removal Sydney preemptively, can spare you any unnecessary discomfort.
When you can’t efficiently remove food debris and plaque from your third molars, you’re at greater risk of developing decay in your molars and periodontal disease in the gums around them. If you extract your wisdom teeth, you reduce the chances that such infections will spread to other areas in your mouth.
Most people in Sydney don’t have enough space in their mouths to accommodate wisdom teeth, so when the third molars attempt to come in, they do so at an unhealthy angle. This results in impacted wisdom teeth. Impacted third molars need to be surgically removed.
If you don’t have enough room in your mouth for wisdom teeth, they can push against your other teeth as they grow in and cause crowding. Removing those third molars before they have a chance to ruin your tooth alignment can help you maintain healthy tooth alignment.
Your upper wisdom teeth may need to be removed if they’ve grown too close to your sinus cavity.
