Understanding Wisdom Teeth Problems in Canberra

Wisdom teeth (third molars) typically emerge between ages 17-25. Due to evolutionary changes in jaw size, most people don’t have sufficient space for these teeth to emerge properly. In Canberra, our dental team sees numerous impaction cases annually, making wisdom teeth extraction one of our most frequently performed surgical procedures.

Common Wisdom Teeth Issues We Treat:

  • Partial impaction – When the tooth emerges but is partially covered by gum tissue, creating a trap for bacteria and food particles
  • Complete impaction – When the tooth cannot break through the gum line at all
  • Horizontal impaction – When the tooth grows sideways, pressing directly against adjacent teeth
  • Angular impaction – When the tooth emerges at an angle, potentially damaging neighboring teeth
  • Pericoronitis – Painful inflammation of the gum tissue surrounding a partially erupted wisdom tooth

The My Dentist Canberra Wisdom Teeth Removal Process

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation by Dr. Bharti, who holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree and has successfully completed the Australian Dental Council examinations. Our assessment includes:

  • High-resolution digital panoramic X-rays to visualise all four wisdom teeth
  • Discussion of your medical history and any concerns
  • Clear explanation of your specific wisdom teeth situation using visual aids

Unlike many practices, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Dr. Bharti will develop a customised treatment plan based on:

  • The position and angle of each wisdom tooth
  • The level of impaction and complexity of extraction
  • Your comfort level and anxiety concerns
  • Your scheduling needs and recovery considerations

3. Expert Extraction Procedure

Our wisdom teeth removal procedures in Canberra are performed using the latest techniques:

  • Simple extractions for fully erupted wisdom teeth
  • Surgical extractions for impacted or partially erupted teeth
  • Sectioning technique to minimise bone removal for complex impactions

4. Comprehensive Aftercare

Common Questions About Wisdom Teeth Removal

As a parent, you naturally have questions about your child’s dental health. Let’s address some of the most frequently asked questions:

How do I know if my wisdom teeth need removal?

Common signs include pain, swelling, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, cysts, and overcrowding. Our thorough assessment will determine if extraction is necessary.

Ideally between 17-25 years when the roots aren’t fully developed, making extraction easier with faster healing. However, we successfully treat patients of all ages.

With our advanced anaesthesia and sedation options, you’ll feel no pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is effectively managed with prescribed medications.

If you’ve had local anaesthesia only, yes. However, if you’ve had sedation or general anaesthesia, you’ll need someone to drive you home.

Most patients return to normal activities within 3-5 days, with complete healing taking 1-2 weeks.

Soft foods like smoothies, yogurt, mashed potatoes, and soup for the first few days, gradually returning to your normal diet as comfort allows.
