Wisdom teeth are the last of the permanent teeth to come in, usually in the late teenage years or early adulthood. Some wisdom teeth come in properly and are healthy. Others might not have enough space to come in properly. This can occasionally cause discomfort, swelling, infection, damage to nearby teeth, or trouble cleaning the area. Wisdom Tooth Extractions in Lismore are carried out following a comprehensive dental evaluation to determine if removal is suitable considering your oral health and clinical observations.
Each patient has distinct dental needs. Not all people have to get their wisdom teeth removed. Your dentist will examine your teeth, evaluate necessary diagnostic imaging if required, and discuss the need for monitoring your condition or the necessity of treatment. It’s the dentist who will decide to remove a wisdom tooth based on your symptoms and the health of your mouth in general.
A Tooth Extraction in Lismore is only recommended where a tooth cannot be saved with other suitable dental treatment, or where extraction is considered the best way to safeguard the general health of your mouth. Wisdom teeth are the most common teeth to be removed but other extractions may be necessary for badly damaged teeth, extensive gum disease, planning for orthodontic treatment, or certain dental illnesses.
The dentist will carry out a comprehensive clinical assessment before proposing an extraction, and may require dental X-rays to help see the position of the tooth and surrounding tissues. The surgery is carried out under local anaesthetic for your comfort. After treatment you will be given personalised post operative instructions to assist in your recovery.
The first step in choosing to have Wisdom Teeth Removal in Lismore is to understand if it’s medically necessary to remove them. Some wisdom teeth are healthy and do not require any surgery. Others can cause recurring infections, pain, food entrapment, gum irritation or damage to neighbouring teeth.
At your consultation the dentist will discuss the position of your wisdom teeth, any current or potential problems and the treatment options available to you. If removal is advised by your dentist, the procedure will be scheduled depending to the difficulty of the case and your overall tooth health. “Clear communication prior to treatment sets the tone for patients in terms of what they can expect during the procedure and in the recovery period.
