Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth can cause a variety of problems:

• tooth and/or jaw pain
• Infection of the gum and soft tissues surrounding the wisdom tooth Swelling of the mouth or face
• Limited mouth opening
• Decay of the wisdom tooth or the adjacent tooth to the wisdom tooth

Not to mention the sleepless nights and time off work or education. These problems are commonly caused by a tooth decay and /or recurrent infection in or around the wisdom teeth.

The decision to remove any wisdom tooth is made following a careful examination and discussion our oral surgery specialists. At your consultation appointment you will be advised about the national NICE guidelines on whether your wisdom tooth/teeth need removing and you will also be advised regarding the risks and benefits for such a procedure.
We offer wisdom tooth removal under local anaesthetic with or without sedation for phobic patients.

Wisdom tooth removal may also be done for other reasons such as orthodontic therapy or as part of more complex corrective jaw operations.
