What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Need urgent wisdom tooth removal?

Wisdom teeth are the latest permanent teeth that appear when you’re 17 to 25 years old. It’s important to note that some people won’t have wisdom teeth at all. But in most cases, these erupt just like a molar and they won’t cause any problem.

The problem appears when wisdom teeth are impacted and they don’t have enough room to develop properly. When that happens, they will have a partial eruption or they won’t erupt at all.

Most of us have 4 wisdom teeth, one in each corner. You don’t need to remove them usually if they grow in completely, they are positioned correctly, are healthy and you can easily clean them. However, this won’t happen all the time, and that’s when you need to address the issue as fast as possible.

When does a wisdom tooth need to be removed?

The main issue with wisdom teeth is the fact that they can end up not erupting properly, and that can become a major issue. Partial eruptions can be painful and dangerous, since they can damage roots or even bring in bone support problems.

In addition, the wisdom tooth might crowd the nearby teeth. If your wisdom tooth doesn’t have enough room to come out, it might damage the nearby teeth and they can become crowded. That’s a major issue, and one of the main reasons why the wisdom tooth needs to be removed.

Most dentists recommend removing the wisdom tooth if it doesn’t fully emerge, and ideally, you want to do that at a younger age. Otherwise, the bone and roots are fully formed, and the recovery process can take a lot more time.

If you experience extensive dental decay, gum disease, tumors, cysts, repeated infections or pain near your wisdom tooth, this is also a sign that you need to have it removed. Try to do that as quickly as possible to avoid any future issues.

What does the procedure involve?

  • Initially, you will receive a local anesthetic in order to numb the area around your wisdom tooth. You might feel some pressure before your wisdom tooth is removed.
  • The dentist will try to widen the tooth socket via rocking it back and forth. In some cases, a small cut in the gum is needed, since the wisdom tooth might need to be cut into pieces before it gets removed. It’s quite common for this to happen.
  • The procedure can take up to 20 minutes, sometimes even more. After the wisdom tooth is removed, the patient may feel some discomfort and swelling.

Your Wisdom Tooth Recovery Guide

To ensure a smooth recovery after your emergency wisdom tooth removal in Brisbane, follow these essential steps during the first 24 to 48 hours:

  • Manage Bleeding: Keep firm pressure on the gauze pad provided for at least 30–60 minutes. If bleeding persists, replace it with a clean damp gauze or a moistened tea bag.

  • Reduce Swelling: Apply an ice pack to the outside of your cheek in 20-minute intervals. This is most effective during the first 24 hours to minimize post-operative edema.

  • Protect the Clot: Do not smoke, use a straw, or spit forcefully. These actions can dislodge the blood clot and lead to a painful condition called Dry Socket (Alveolitis).

  • Diet & Hydration: Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, or smoothies (eaten with a spoon). Avoid hot liquids and spicy foods that can irritate the surgical site.

If you experience excessive bleeding, severe pain that doesn’t respond to medication, or high fever, please call Amitis Dental Studio immediately on (07) 3130 2133.
