Wisdom Teeth Removal Perth
Wisdom teeth usually come through in your late teens or early twenties, and when there isn’t enough room they can become impacted, crowded or painful. Our Perth dentists can assess your wisdom teeth, explain your options and, where removal is the best choice, take you through the procedure, sedation options and recovery.

Signs you may need your wisdom teeth removed
Your dentist will be able to see whether your wisdom teeth need to be removed at your regular dental check-up and clean appointments. The most common sign that you may need to have your wisdom teeth removed is when they start to crowd or damage other nearby teeth.
Wisdom teeth can also become infected, which can cause jaw pain, swelling, gum disease and inflammation.
In some cases, a wisdom tooth may only partially erupt through the gum line, which can trap food and bacteria and lead to tooth decay. If you experience any of these problems, it is time to see your dentist to determine if you need a wisdom tooth removed.
Wisdom teeth removal procedure
Wisdom teeth removal procedures are one of the most common dental surgeries. These procedures include:
The use of twilight anaesthesia or sleep dentistry is a technique that reduces pain, and anxiety and puts patients into a relaxed state so they feel comfortable during surgery. The procedure can take place in a dental clinic.
Wisdom teeth removal surgery is a common dental surgical procedure that is often performed under general anaesthetic. This means that you will be asleep for the duration of the surgery. The surgery itself usually lasts for around an hour, and you may need to stay in the hospital for a few hours afterwards so that your recovery can be monitored.
Most patients report mild discomfort and some swelling the day after surgery, which can be alleviated with an ice pack. You will be prescribed pain medication, so take it as directed. Bruising and a small amount of bleeding are also common.
Any recovery times vary from individual to individual, but most people feel back to their normal activities within two weeks. Follow your dentist’s instructions for post-operative care to hasten your healing process.
