Wisdom teeth (third molars) are the last teeth to develop, typically emerging in the late teenage years or early adulthood. In some cases, wisdom teeth may erupt without issue. In others, they may become impacted, partially erupted or difficult to clean, which can increase the risk of complications.
At Brunswick Dental Practice, wisdom teeth are assessed and managed by registered dental practitioners following a comprehensive clinical examination and appropriate imaging.
Treatment recommendations are based on symptoms, positioning of the teeth and overall oral health.
Wisdom teeth removal may be considered where:

If removal is recommended, the procedure and recovery process will be explained in detail.
Local anaesthesia is typically used to manage discomfort during the procedure. In some cases, a surgical approach may be required if the tooth is impacted.
The complexity of removal varies depending on the position and development of the tooth.
After removal, you will receive instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of complications. Mild swelling, bruising or discomfort may occur temporarily.
Follow-up appointments may be arranged if required.

No. Some wisdom teeth erupt normally and do not cause problems. Removal is generally recommended only when there are symptoms, risk of complications or clinical concerns identified during assessment.
Local anaesthesia is used during the procedure to minimise discomfort. Some swelling or temporary discomfort may occur after the procedure and usually improves within a few days.
Initial healing generally occurs within one to two weeks. Swelling and mild discomfort are most noticeable in the first few days. Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the extraction and individual healing response.
Dry socket is a condition that may occur if the blood clot at the extraction site becomes dislodged or fails to form properly. It can cause increased discomfort and may require further management.
Following post-operative instructions carefully, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding smoking during recovery may assist in supporting healing. If you experience persistent pain, swelling or bleeding, you should contact the clinic.
