About Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come through, usually appearing in your late teens or twenties. Often, they don’t have enough space to emerge fully, which can lead to pain, swelling, or infection.

Extraction may be recommended if your wisdom teeth are impacted, partially erupted, or causing problems such as decay, or gum issues. The procedure is common and carried out safely under local anaesthetic, or with sedation.

Removing troublesome wisdom teeth can relieve discomfort, protect surrounding teeth, and improve your long-term oral health.
