🦷 My Wisdom Tooth Dentisn - Joondalup

Wisdom teeth are the third molars in the rear of our mouths, and they don't always need to be extracted as long as they're healthy, have fully grown in, are biting appropriately, and can be cleaned as part of routine oral care.

🦷 Can an impacted wisdom tooth kill you?

Aside from inappropriate touch, there are additional ways that impacted wisdom teeth impair surrounding teeth, particularly when it comes to the transmission of dangerous germs that may cause pain and, in some cases, life-threatening infections. The majority of these diseases begin and spread without warning.

🦷 What happens if you don't remove impacted wisdom teeth?

A partly erupted wisdom tooth can develop pericoronitis, a bacterial infection, if you don't have them removed. A wisdom tooth that fails to erupt, on the other hand, might produce a cyst, which can harm bone and gum tissue. Wisdom teeth are commonly removed due to their crooked appearance.

🦷 Are you awake for wisdom teeth removal?

During the tooth extraction, you are awake. Although there will be some pressure and movement, there should be no discomfort: anesthesia and sedation. Your oral surgeon or Wisdom Tooth dentist in Ellenbrook WA uses an intravenous (IV) line in your arm to administer sedative anaesthetic.

🦷 Is it possible to get your wisdom teeth extracted without sleeping?

You do not have to be put to sleep to have your wisdom teeth removed. The wisdom teeth extraction can be done while the patient is awake and the mouth is numbed with a local anaesthetic.

🦷 How long does it take for wisdom teeth that have been impacted to heal?

Your mouth might take up to six weeks to recover fully. You won't open your mouth generally for approximately a week, so that soft meals will be required. You may have some discomfort, bleeding, and edema following surgery.

🦷 What to expect during wisdom teeth removal?

You'll first receive some numbing techniques. It might be local anaesthetic (you'll be aware and may feel pressure but not pain), sedation (you'll be awake but have a reduced level of consciousness and won't recall anything), or general anaesthesia (you'll be fully unconscious and won't remember anything). The kind you receive is determined by how tough the dentist or surgeon believes the surgery will be, as well as your level of anxiety. It's important to discuss this with your dental team ahead of time since, depending on the type of anaesthesia you'll be having, you'll be recommended to avoid from eating or drinking for a particular number of hours before the surgery.

Why Should You Get Wisdom Teeth Removal in Kedron?

In many cases, your mouth will not have enough space to accommodate your wisdom teeth — especially if you have all 4 coming in through the upper and lower jaws. This means the teeth can become impacted, or stuck in the gum, which causes a raft of problems including:

Infections

Without enough space for full eruption, the gum tissue around the wisdom tooth can become irritated and infected, causing recurrent pain, swelling, and difficulties with chewing and swallowing.

Cyst Formation

Cysts can develop inside the jaw bone due to impacted teeth, gradually destroying adjacent jaw bone and sometimes teeth. These can be more challenging to treat if wisdom teeth are not removed during teenage years.

Possible Crowding

Retained, impacted wisdom teeth may contribute to the crowding of your teeth, especially noticeable with the front teeth.

Damage to Adjacent Teeth

If there is insufficient room to clean around the wisdom tooth, the adjacent second molar can be adversely affected, leading to gum disease, bone loss, and decay.

Consequences of Delayed Wisdom Teeth Removal

If wisdom teeth aren’t removed during the teenage years or early adulthood, complications may arise due to the root development and denser jaw bone.

These complications include:

Prolonged postoperative recovery
Increased risk of complications such as infections
Slower healing process
Possibility of cyst formation or localised gum disease and bone loss.

Hence, it’s generally advised to undergo wisdom teeth removal in your teens or early 20s for a quicker and more predictable healing process. Wisdom tooth pain can be a real nuisance, often causing discomfort and even disrupting daily activities.

Your Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure Day at Our Kedron Clinic

Your comfort and safety are our top priorities on the day of your wisdom teeth removal procedure. Here’s what you can expect:

Arrival at the clinic with a responsible adult who will stay with you for the rest of the day
Pain management administered, with options including local anaesthesia administration, nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) and/or intravenous (IV) sedation
The procedure, which lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, with an overall office visit of about 90 minutes
Use of state-of-the-art sterilisation and infection control techniques.

We ask all of our patients to not eat or drink anything from 6 hours before your scheduled surgery time to avoid any complications with the pain management including nausea and vomiting.

My Wisdom Tooth Dentist in Perth and Brisbane is here for you after your surgery as well, with post-surgery care to guide you towards a smooth recovery:

Additional local anaesthesia can be administered before you head home to rest

Frequently Asked Questions

IS WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL COVERED BY MEDICARE?

Unfortunately, Original Medicare (Parts A & B) does not typically cover routine dental procedures, including wisdom teeth removal.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO REMOVE WISDOM TEETH?

The cost of wisdom teeth removal can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case and whether sedation is required. Generally, it can range from $199 to $450 for a single tooth extraction and up to about $1,400 for all 4 wisdom teeth.

Keep in mind that these are general estimates, and the actual cost can vary. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to schedule a consultation with our team at My Wisdom Tooth Dentist.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO REMOVE ONE WISDOM TOOTH IN AUSTRALIA?

In Australia, the cost to remove a single wisdom tooth can vary widely based on the complexity of the case, the type of anaesthesia used, and other factors. On average, you can expect to pay between $199 and $450 for a single wisdom tooth extraction without twilight sedation.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL?

Recovery time can vary depending on the complexity of the extraction and individual healing responses. Generally, initial recovery occurs within a few days. However, full healing may take up to 2 weeks. During this time, it’s important to follow all post-operative instructions provided by your dentist to ensure a smooth recovery.

ARE THERE ANY RISKS OR COMPLICATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL?

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with wisdom teeth removal. These may include pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, damage to nearby teeth, and temporary or permanent numbness in the lower lip, tongue, or chin. However, these risks are relatively low, especially when the procedure is performed by an experienced practitioner.

DO I NEED TO HAVE MY WISDOM TEETH REMOVED EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT CAUSING PROBLEMS?

Not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, fully erupted, positioned correctly, and able to be cleaned as part of daily hygiene practices, you may not need to have them removed. However, most people have 1 or more of their wisdom teeth removed to prevent future problems. Your dentist can help you make the best decision based on your specific circumstances.
