Wisdom teeth removal is a common form of extraction. Many of our patients experience problems with their wisdom teeth, which are the third set of molars found in the rear corners of the mouth.
A typical scenario requiring wisdom teeth removal is a tooth growing too close to existing permanent teeth. This causes crowding, misalignment, improper bites, and other problems. If you experience strong discomfort, inflammation, or an infection, you may need to have one of our dentists look at it. Without treatment, wisdom teeth can become impacted. This causes extreme pain and can harm your oral health.
Orleans Town Centre Dental has dentists specializing in the art of tooth extraction. If you’re experiencing intense pain from a tooth, it’s important that you call one of our dental offices to assess your situation as soon as possible.
Typically, extractions are a method of last resort. The good news is that tooth extractions today are far less painful than they used to be. In fact, with the help of anaesthetics and sedatives, it’s likely that you will feel very little discomfort or pain.
Once the procedure is complete, simple precautions can help to minimize infections such as avoiding smoking, vigorous brushing and drinking liquids through straws.
