Wisdom Teeth Removal - What To Expect
Experiencing pain or swelling at the back of your mouth?
It could be your wisdom teeth, and how it grows really matters.
Impacted wisdom teeth can grow in wrong directions:
- Vertical impaction: upright but trapped
- Horizontal impaction: pushing sideways
- Distal impaction: angled toward the back of the mouth
Left untreated, they can cause swelling, infection, or crowding.
That’s why surgical removal is often recommended.
It’s a routine procedure done under local anaesthetic, IV sedation, or general anaesthetic.
The tooth may be removed whole, or sectioned for easier extraction.
Recovery typically takes a few days.
