SE Calgary Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Assessment and removal of wisdom teeth that cause problems.
Adult teeth are meant to last a lifetime, but there are situations where an extraction is the most appropriate option. If your wisdom teeth are causing pain or discomfort, we offer safe and effective wisdom tooth removal and will support you through each step.
What are Wisdom Teeth and Why Might They Need to be Removed?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge, at the very back of the mouth, typically between the ages of 14 and 30. Some people never develop wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth often cause no issues at all, but for some people they lead to complications. Left untreated, problem wisdom teeth can result in tooth decay, pain, occlusion issues and gum disease.
When there is limited space in your mouth, wisdom teeth may not grow in properly. Partial eruption, where a wisdom tooth comes only partly through the gums, can cause crowding, gum infections, cavities and significant discomfort. Wisdom teeth may also grow at an angle, leading to crowding and possible damage to neighbouring molars. Impacted wisdom teeth are those without enough room to erupt properly: they become trapped in the gums, which can lead to bacterial growth and painful gum infections.
