Our approach to wisdom teeth will always consider your specific circumstances – there is no one size fits all. We’ll first review your symptoms and make recommendations for treatment, adopting a conservative approach wherever possible.
Between the ages of 17 and 25 wisdom teeth emerge at the end of the upper and lower gums. Among issues such as crowding, gum infections, ulcers and difficulty chewing, wisdom teeth can also become impacted. This means the wisdom teeth don’t have enough room in the jaw, an issue which can lead to a cyst developing. Swelling, pressure and stiffness in the jaw are also common symptoms of painful wisdom teeth.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s wise to book an appointment at Figtree Family Dental. We’ll complete a full assessment and confirm the exact cause of your pain, including whether you have impacted wisdom teeth.
All surgical procedures carry risks, however our team is experienced in supporting patients both through treatment and the recovery process. At all stages, you will understand what is happening. Our priority is your health, comfort, and achieving the most ideal treatment outcome for you.
