Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of permanent teeth to emerge in the mouth, typically appearing in the late teenage years or early adulthood. In many cases, there is not enough space in the mouth to accommodate these new teeth, leading to impaction,infection, gum disease, decay and other dental problems.
For these reasons, it is often recommended to have wisdom teeth removed. The procedure for wisdom tooth extraction is a common one and can usually be performed in the chair by one of our skilled dentists. And, if you’re feeling a bit nervous about the procedure, you’ll be happy to know that you can have a comfortable and relaxed experience with the help of sedation performed by an in-house anaesthetist.
