Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth often arrive in the late teens or twenties, and not always with enough room. When they cause pain, infection or crowding, removal can bring relief. Hunt Dentistry in Brampton assesses your wisdom teeth and offers sedation options.
Signs of a Problem
- Pain or pressure at the back of the jaw
- Swollen, red or bleeding gums behind the last tooth
- A bad taste or bad breath
- Trouble opening your mouth
- A tooth only partly through the gum
How We Decide
We take digital X-rays to see the position of the teeth. Not all wisdom teeth need to come out. We recommend removal only when it will help. See also tooth extractions.
Comfort Options
We numb the area. For anxious patients, sedation dentistry options are available.
Swelling or Fever?
Facial swelling, fever or trouble swallowing needs prompt care. Call us or see our emergency dentist page.
