When Your Wisdom Teeth Need Professional Care

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to appear in your mouth, usually between ages 17-25. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, many experience problems that require professional removal.

Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal

Our experienced dental team at Hastings Dental Centre can help identify if your wisdom teeth need attention. Common signs include:

  • Pain or discomfort at the back of your mouth
  • Swollen, tender, or bleeding gums around the tooth area
  • Jaw stiffness or difficulty opening your mouth
  • Bad breath or unpleasant taste
  • Crowding of your other teeth
  • Recurring infections in the gum tissue.

Our Gentle Approach to Wisdom Teeth Removal

At Hastings Dental Centre, we understand that wisdom teeth removal can feel overwhelming. Our caring team works to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

Your Initial Consultation Your first visit takes about 30 minutes. We’ll examine your mouth and take X-rays to see the position of your wisdom teeth. This helps us create a treatment plan that’s right for you. We’ll explain everything clearly and answer any questions you have.

Treatment Options Every patient is different, and we tailor our approach to your specific needs. Some wisdom teeth can be removed with a simple extraction, while others may need minor surgery. We’ll discuss your options and help you choose what works best.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Our modern practice uses the latest techniques to ensure your comfort. We offer:

  • Local anaesthetic to numb the area completely
  • Sedation options for anxious patients
  • Clear explanation of each step
