Keeping Smiles Bright and Affordable

At Trafalgar Family Dental in Onehunga, we understand that dental extractions, including wisdom teeth removal, can be a source of anxiety for many patients. Our compassionate team is dedicated to providing you with a comfortable experience and expert care throughout the process. Whether you need a simple extraction or surgical removal of wisdom teeth, we are here to help you every step of the way.

When Is Wisdom Teeth Extraction Necessary?

Tooth extraction may be recommended for several reasons, including:

Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a filling or crown, extraction may be necessary to prevent infection and further complications.
Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease can weaken the support of your teeth, making extraction necessary to maintain overall oral health.
Overcrowding: In some cases, extractions are needed to create space for orthodontic treatment, particularly if your teeth are misaligned or overcrowded.
Wisdom Teeth Complications: Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often become impacted due to lack of space, leading to pain, infection, and other dental issues.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. For many people, there simply isn’t enough room in the mouth for these teeth to grow in properly, which can cause various problems:

Impaction: Wisdom teeth may become trapped beneath the gum line, leading to pain, swelling, and infection.
Crowding: If wisdom teeth push against existing teeth, they can cause misalignment.
Cysts and Tumors: Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to the development of cysts or tumors, potentially damaging nearby teeth and bone.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process

Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we will assess your dental health, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment options. Our team will ensure you understand the procedure and answer any questions you may have.
Preparation: For extractions, we will administer a local anesthetic to numb the area. For wisdom teeth removal, sedation options may be available to ensure your comfort.
Extraction: a) Simple Extraction: For visible teeth, we will loosen the tooth with special tools and gently remove it. b) Surgical Extraction: For impacted wisdom teeth, we may need to make incisions in the gum tissue and remove bone to access the tooth.
Post-Extraction Care: After your extraction, we will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. This may include pain management, diet recommendations, and how to care for the extraction site.

Recovery After Extraction of Wisdom Teeth

Most patients experience some swelling and discomfort after extraction, which can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Here are some general aftercare tips:

Rest: Allow yourself time to heal. Avoid strenuous activities for at least 24 hours post-extraction.
Ice Packs: Apply ice packs to reduce swelling for the first 24 hours.
Diet: Stick to soft foods and avoid hot or spicy foods for a few days. Hydration is key, but avoid using straws, as this can disrupt the healing process.
Oral Hygiene: Continue brushing your teeth but be gentle around the extraction site. Rinse with warm salt water after 24 hours to keep the area clean.

At Trafalgar Family Dental, we carefully evaluate your dental health and recommend wisdom teeth removal when necessary.
