Expert Care for the Removal of Problematic Wisdom Teeth

At Southlakes Dental, we understand the unique challenges that can arise with wisdom teeth.

We provide the option to have treatment done under general anaesthetic for improved comfort and recovery.

Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?

Insufficient Space and Risk of Infection: Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, may require removal if there isn't enough space for them to erupt properly. This can lead to various issues, including impaction, crowding, and an increased risk of infection.

Potential Complications: If left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort. They may also contribute to the development of cysts, gum disease, and damage to neighbouring teeth.

  • Swelling and Redness: Swelling, redness, or tenderness in the gums around the back of your mouth.

  • Difficulty in Opening Mouth: Difficulty in opening your mouth fully or experiencing jaw stiffness.
