WANNEROO DENTAL CENTRE

Depending on the circumstances we may need to refer you to an oral surgeon, especially if your preference is to have them extracted under a General Anaesthetic.

The size, shape, position and number of wisdom teeth vary in different people. Wisdom teeth can be the cause of pain in many different ways including:

• Tooth Decay;
• Swellings and Gum Infections;
• Dental Cysts; and
• Abscesses.

Wisdom teeth can also cause damage to the teeth in front through pressure, resorption and decay. Where there is not enough room for the wisdom teeth to erupt properly, they may grow sideways (impacted). Most people end up requiring removal of their wisdom teeth for the above reasons.

If you have experienced any pain, bleeding or swelling in the wisdom teeth area, it is best to have your wisdom teeth assessed at Wanneroo Dental Centre by our experienced dental surgeons as soon as possible to avoid more complex and urgent issues with them later.
