Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth, the third and final set of molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, these teeth can cause pain, crowding, or infection due to limited space in the jaw. In these cases, removal is often recommended to protect your oral health.
At The Arnprior Tooth Doctor, we perform wisdom tooth extractions with care, clarity, and a focus on comfort. Whether you're experiencing symptoms or have been referred for evaluation, our team is here to guide you through the process every step of the way.
Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed — but when they cause problems, early intervention can prevent bigger issues. Common reasons for extraction include:
- Impacted teeth that are stuck under the gums
- Pain, swelling, or infection
- Crowding or shifting of other teeth
- Cysts or damage to nearby roots
- Difficulty cleaning the area, leading to decay or gum disease
We use digital imaging to assess your teeth, determine the best course of action, and create a treatment plan that fits your needs.
What to Expect
Your comfort is our top priority. Here’s how we make the process as smooth as possible:
- Thorough consultation and imaging
- Discussion of sedation or freezing options
- Clear explanation of the procedure
- Safe, sterile surgical environment
- Post-operative care instructions and follow-up
We also offer sedation options for patients who are anxious or undergoing more complex removals.
Recovery and Healing
After your procedure, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort. Most patients experience mild swelling and tenderness for a few days, which can be managed with rest, soft foods, and medication if needed.
If you have any concerns during your recovery, we’re only a phone call away.
