Wisdom Teeth: Do I Need Them Removed?
Not all wisdom teeth require extraction. Some may remain hidden beneath the gums without causing issues, while others can lead to complications including:
-
Infection leading to swelling and pain
-
Damage to adjacent teeth, gums, and bone
-
Crowding

Book an appointment with our expert dentists to explore the best options for your wisdom teeth.
Comprehensive Assessment Before Tooth Extraction
Before proceeding with a tooth extraction, our dentists will carefully assess your situation to determine whether extraction is truly necessary. Our dentist will thoroughly assess your situation and consider any relevant health conditions and medications you may be taking. This comprehensive approach ensures your safety and helps us determine whether extraction is necessary or if other options are more suitable. During your consultation, the dentist will explain the best course of action, answer any concerns, and provide you with all available options.
​
If you have any questions or are unsure if an extraction is needed, we encourage you to book an appointment to consult with our expert team. We're here to help you make the most informed decision for your oral health.
The Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process
At Whitehorse Smile Care, your comfort is our priority. We begin by applying anesthetics to thoroughly numb the area. The dentist then applies gentle pressure until the tooth loosens and is removed. Stitches may be used for closure, promoting faster healing.
​
Some patients prefer to have all their wisdom teeth removed at once, while others may opt to have them extracted in stages. We encourage you to discuss your preferences with our dentist so we can create a suitable plan that works for you.
Depending on the complexity of your case, the extraction may be surgical or non-surgical:
-
Non-Surgical Extractions: This approach is generally straightforward and involves removing teeth that have fully erupted and are easily accessible.
-
Surgical Extractions: This may be necessary for impacted wisdom teeth that are not fully erupted or are positioned in a way that makes removal more challenging. Surgical extractions may involve incisions in the gum tissue and require a more extended recovery time.
We encourage open communication to develop a tailored plan that meets your needs.
Post-Extraction Care and Follow-Up
While some believe a soft food or soup diet is necessary for months post-extraction, most patients can resume normal activities within weeks. the dentist will assess your individual case and provide tailored aftercare instructions. Our team will stay in touch to monitor your healing.
​
Key Points for Aftercare:
-
Follow post-operative instructions for a smooth recovery.
-
Avoid hard, crunchy foods initially.
-
Maintain good oral hygiene while being gentle around the extraction site.
