Wisdom Teeth Removal in Bentleigh

Do Wisdom Teeth Always Need to Be Removed?

For most people, wisdom teeth grow normally and remain healthy without causing any problems.

For others, there may not be enough room in the mouth for wisdom teeth to develop properly. As a result, they can become partially or completely trapped beneath the gum or bone.

This may lead to pain, swelling, infection or discomfort.

Common Signs and Symptoms

Wisdom teeth may require treatment if they cause:

Pain at the back of the mouth
Swollen or tender gums
Difficulty cleaning around the tooth
Repeated infections
Jaw discomfort
Damage to neighbouring teeth

Wisdom Teeth Assessment

Regular dental check-ups and X-rays help us monitor wisdom teeth and identify potential problems before they become more serious.

We will assess:

The position of the teeth
Available space in the mouth
Gum health around the teeth
Signs of infection or damage
X-rays where appropriate

Following the examination, we will discuss whether monitoring or removal is the most appropriate option.
