Many people do not have enough space at the rear of their jaw for wisdom teeth to fully erupt and be functional. When there is not enough space for a wisdom tooth to come through, the tooth becomes wedged or “impacted” which may cause problems. The dentist may recommend wisdom teeth removal if there is insufficient room for your teeth to erupt or if you are experiencing symptoms associated with the eruption or impaction of your wisdom teeth.
At Hurstbridge Dental, our dentists are skilled in carefully removing wisdom teeth under local anaesthetic. The dentists are also trained to recognise complex situations that may require referral to a oral or maxillofacial surgeon and will discuss the situation with you after careful assessment.
