Wisdom Teeth Treatment & Tooth Extraction

Understanding Wisdom Teeth and Their Eruption:

Wisdom teeth usually erupt when you are between 17-21 years of age. This can often be associated with occasional dull aches but may also be very painful for some. Most wisdom teeth erupt into the mouth and do not require removal. Some erupt incorrectly or only partially and can continue to cause local irritation or pain from time to time. These wisdom teeth may then require removal. These wisdom teeth are often referred to as impacted wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth may have to be removed for several reasons:

• Extensive damage (due to decay or trauma)
• Lack of function
• Prevention of complications
• Pain & swelling
• Oral hygiene issues
• Crowding

Dr Mandev Singh is highly experienced in the removal of wisdom teeth under local anaesthesia. This is often regarded as a frightening and painful experience by most. However, Dr Singh can assure you that the procedure is actually a lot gentler and less painful than expected or anticipated. He achieves this by careful attention to detail, proper planning and preparing the patient on the procedure. The appointment time is extended to allow Dr Singh to work patiently and gently. Whilst there is some post surgical swelling and pain, this is easily controlled by painkillers and home care. Our patients will not look like they have been through 10 rounds with Ali!

Complex cases may be referred to an oral/maxillofacial surgeon for care and removal.
