Searching for the Best Wisdom Teeth Removal in Dandenong?

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to come. They can come through any time from the age of 16 years. Often, wisdom teeth need to be removed surgically as there is no space for them. The first step is to get a large jaw x-ray (OPG). This is done to assess the position of the wisdom teeth. 


Some of the common reasons for removing wisdom teeth are


  • Infection / Pain

  • Food Trapping

  • Crowding

  • Cyst

  • Difficulty in opening mouth and swallowing

  • Fever


The surgeon will assess the angle and formation of the wisdom tooth/teeth during the consultation. Wisdom teeth are broken down into three categories


  • Fully Impacted

Fully impacted is when there is no room for the tooth to come out. They are usually at an angle and pushing into the tooth adjacent to it. Wisdom teeth that are fully impacted or completely under gum are the most difficult to remove. 






  • Partially Erupted

This kind of tooth is partially coming through the gum. It can be difficult to clean as a part of the tooth remains covered with a flap of gum. There are chances of food getting caught in the gap between the tooth and gum causing cavities and/or gum inflammation. 


  • Fully Erupted

A fully erupted wisdom teeth or fully growth teeth may not need to be extracted if they are not causing any problems. The best thing to do here is to monitor the teeth and make sure that the toothbrush reaches it while brushing.
