At Bramalea Smiles Dentistry, we strive to make your treatments as comfortable as possible. We begin by placing a local anaesthetic to the area surrounding your tooth so that you will be numb while your tooth is extracted.
Using precise instruments, we will carefully remove the tooth. If anything becomes uncomfortable for you during the procedure, our caring team will be listening and ready to help make you comfortable.
During your extraction appointment, our attentive team will explain how you will care for your mouth after the extraction.
By following some simple steps, you can prevent any problems following extraction. Eating soft foods like ice cream, pudding, soups, applesauce and smoothies will allow you to heal quicker. You can slowly add solid foods back into your diet – just follow your post-surgical treatment plan.
For most people, wisdom teeth start to come through the gums between the ages of 16 to 25. Most people develop four wisdom teeth, but some people may have fewer. In fact, some people never develop wisdom teeth at all.
If our experienced team at Bramalea Smiles Dentistry is concerned about your wisdom teeth during your regular check-up, we will take an x-ray to examine their position. Depending on your age and the position of the teeth and whether or not your mouth can accommodate the teeth, we may recommend waiting to observe how your wisdom teeth progress or proceeding with treatment.
Your wisdom teeth may be impacted, misaligned and poking or rubbing on your cheeks or tongue, causing irritation. If there is not enough room for them in your mouth, the wisdom teeth can cause crowding and shifting among the rest of your teeth. They can also be very difficult to keep clean because they are so far back in your mouth and may develop decay.
