Your wisdom teeth typically erupt during the late teens or early twenties. They are located at the back of the mouth (four teeth or less) and serve no useful purpose. So, if these teeth cause problems, it is usually better to consider wisdom tooth extraction in Katoomba.
In many cases, wisdom teeth only partially erupt, leaving the gum open to bacteria and infection. Sometimes these teeth don’t have room on the jaw to come through, so they push and encroach on adjacent teeth, which can be painful.
Your Katoomba dentist can talk to you about extraction if you have problematic wisdom teeth. Wisdom tooth extraction can be straightforward or surgical, depending on complexity. But in either case, your dentist will ensure the area is numb before starting work. We can also talk to you about sedation dentistry options for ultimate relaxation.
After extraction, we provide aftercare instructions to promote faster healing and easy recovery.
