Wisdom Teeth Removal: What You Need to Know

Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common oral surgery procedures and is often necessary to maintain good dental health. Most people develop four wisdom teeth the third set of molars typically in their late teens or early twenties. However, if there isn’t enough room in the jaw, these teeth can become impacted or wedged, leading to a range of dental issues.

Impacted wisdom teeth can cause serious complications including infection, crowding, pain, cyst formation, ulcers, food traps, and tooth decay. These issues not only affect the surrounding teeth but can also lead to more severe oral health problems if left untreated. That’s why early assessment and management are crucial.

At Conder Dental Centre, we prioritise your comfort and care. If you're experiencing discomfort or suspect issues with your wisdom teeth, an OPG (Orthopantomogram) is typically the first step. This panoramic X-ray gives a clear view of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. If your case is complex, a referral to a specialist oral surgeon may be recommended to ensure the best outcome.
