Wisdom Teeth Removal Burwood
What is wisdom teeth removal?
Wisdom teeth removal is an oral procedure that is quite common. It’s frequently suggested as a preventative approach to safeguard your dental health and shield your other teeth from potential issues. The removal of wisdom teeth involves removing the four permanent adult teeth known as third molars, which are found at the back corners of your mouth on the bottom and top. These teeth usually emerge between 17 and 21 years. The majority of people have all four wisdom teeth. If X-rays and an examination show that your wisdom teeth are impacted or could eventually give you oral issues, our Burwood dentist will recommend wisdom teeth removal.
When is wisdom teeth removal necessary?

Our Burwood dentist will evaluate the condition of your wisdom teeth and take dental X-rays to pinpoint precisely where they are. They’ll also discuss with you your sedation alternatives.
Depending on your particular requirements, wisdom tooth extraction can be done under general anaesthesia, or with a local anaesthetic.
Our Burwood dentist will give you a local anaesthetic to numb your gum tissue and teeth. When wisdom teeth are impacted, incisions are made to expose them and give our dentist easy access.
Our dentist will carefully separate and pull the wisdom teeth from their sockets once they are visible, clean the affected areas, and put stitches. The stitches will generally dissolve on their own after a few days.
