Wisdom Teeth Removal
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the final set of teeth to emerge in your mouth. These teeth typically appear between ages 17 and 25, often causing issues due to limited jaw space. Many people experience problems with wisdom teeth, including sideways growth, partial emergence, or impaction, where teeth become trapped beneath the gum line.
At Gentle Dental Care, we specialise in wisdom teeth removal to alleviate discomfort and prevent future dental issues. Through dental X-rays, our team can accurately assess your wisdom teeth’ position and condition so we can determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth removal is often necessary to maintain optimal oral health. Our experienced dentists at Gentle Dental Care recommend extraction to:

Anaesthetic Options for Your Comfort
We offer various anaesthetic options to ensure your comfort during wisdom teeth removal:
Local Anaesthetic
Ideal for single tooth removal, numbing the specific area.
IV Sedation
Recommended for multiple extractions or for patients experiencing anxiety, providing a deeper level of relaxation.
General Anaesthetic
Available for complex cases or upon request, allowing the patient to be fully unconscious during the procedure.
The Extraction Proceduret
Our experienced dentists make wisdom tooth removal as smooth as possible. We gently open the gum to reach the tooth, remove any bone in the way, and take the tooth out. We’ll place stitches to help heal and use gauze to manage bleeding if needed.
Post-Procedure Care
Recovery is a crucial aspect of the healing process. To facilitate a smooth recovery:
Manage Pain and Swelling
Maintain Oral Hygiene
