Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars that generally come in between the ages of 17 and 25. Impacted wisdom teeth are those that do not have room to develop normally or fully erupt through the gums. Nine out of 10 people have at least one impacted wisdom tooth, and if left untreated, impacted teeth can damage neighbouring teeth, become infected and even transfer bacteria into the bloodstream. 

In most cases, the removal of wisdom teeth is performed in office under anesthesia. The type of anaesthesia and the surgical risks will be discussed with you before the procedure is performed during the consultation appointment.

You can review pre-operative instructions here and post-operative instructions here.
