Wisdom Teeth Removal in Niddrie

Wisdom teeth can be painful and problematic for some individuals, but they don’t need to be. At Niddrie Dental Clinic, our friendly team will remove your wisdom teeth, so the pain doesn’t disrupt your daily life. 

Don’t panic! If your wisdom teeth aren’t causing you any pain, the chances are they are fine and don’t need to be removed. Our team can help identify if your wisdom teeth are problematic. Simply book a consultation or service with our team today.

If your wisdom teeth are an area of concern, you can call us on (03) 9374 2244 for immediate help.

Not all wisdom teeth do. However, if your wisdom tooth comes through under your gum tissue, it can cause pain. This pain and other symptoms usually come on quite suddenly. Some other symptoms of an impacted wisdom tooth include: 

• Jaw stiffness
• Swelling around the molars
• Unpleasant oral taste
• Throbbing pain (especially when biting)
• Pus draining from the area

It is important to treat your wisdom tooth as soon as you experience discomfort or pain, as ignoring or delaying dental treatment can damage your other teeth and create cysts. We’ll get it out quickly so you can go back to living pain-free.

Your wisdom teeth may also be referred to as your third molars. They are typically the last teeth to develop and come through between the ages of 18 and 21. If they erupt without impacting the neighbouring teeth, you can manage your new tooth with proper oral hygiene (i.e. brushing and flossing).

If you experience pain or discomfort in the wisdom tooth area, make an appointment with your dentist. They will evaluate your situation and discuss your options. If extraction is recommended, the dentist will typically take X-rays—preferably a full-mouth X-ray—to assess the positioning of your wisdom teeth. Most extractions are performed by general dentists at our clinic, but you may be referred to a specialist if the teeth are in a complex position.

We are open on all holidays and weekends, making it convenient for you to schedule your wisdom teeth removal. For appointments, call us at (03) 9374 2244.

At Niddrie Dental Clinic, our focus is on ensuring the treatment is comfortable and painless for you. This starts with understanding how your wisdom tooth removal will work.

1. Consultation: Your dentist will ask you questions regarding your current oral hygiene and medical history, and they’ll examine your mouth to understand if the procedure is necessary. You’ll be talked through the extraction and the costs involved.
2. Extraction: Using local anaesthesia, our team will gently remove your wisdom tooth. You may experience some discomfort, but our team will be there every step of the way.
3. Aftercare: Once extracted, our team will ensure that you’re clear on the next steps for recovery.

Generally, the aftercare for wisdom tooth extraction is fairly simple. We recommend: 

• In the first 24-48 hours that you manage any pain, discomfort or swelling with an ice pack and consume soft or liquid foods. 
• Regularly do warm saltwater rinses to aid the healing process.
• And contact our team if you have any further questions or need further support on the healing process. 

It’s important to properly care for your teeth after your wisdom tooth extraction to prevent infection and decay. To avoid infection or decay in current wisdom teeth or around the area, you should: 

• Regularly brush and floss around the area. 
• Rinse your mouth after every meal and use a warm salt water rinse to keep the area clean. 
• Schedule routine check-ups with Niddrie Dental Clinic to stay on top of your oral health. Your wisdom teeth are likely to change as you get older, so monitoring them closely is crucial. Contact our team today. 

Don’t ignore your oral health, especially if it’s causing you pain. Can you imagine a life where your teeth don’t cause you discomfort? We can. Our friendly team will extract your wisdom teeth quickly, ensuring that your smile is restored in no time! 

We’ll answer all your questions so you know what to expect. Niddrie Dental Clinic is open 6 days a week and offers extended hours to accommodate all our patients and ensure that oral health is your top priority.
