Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom Teeth Removal in Brisbane
At Nu Smiles Dental, wisdom teeth removal in Brisbane is provided following careful assessment and clear communication. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last adult teeth to develop and usually emerge during the late teenage years or early adulthood.
Though some wisdom teeth can grow without causing concern, others can create discomfort or cause crowding or even infection if there is not enough space within the jaw. Our aim is to examine each individual case and suggest treatment only if clinically needed.
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth comprise the last set of molars that are located behind the mouth. In the majority of adulthood, there are four wisdom teeth, but there are some who experience issues.
In some instances the jaw may not have enough room enough to allow wisdom teeth to fully erupt. If this happens the teeth can appear at an angle, or become partially trapped under the gum.
When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Recommended?
Removal of wisdom teeth in Brisbane could be recommended if teeth aren’t able to grow normally or start causing dental health problems.
Extraction may be advised if:
● There is ongoing pain or swelling
● The tooth is impacted or growing at an angle
● The wisdom tooth presses against neighbouring teeth
● Infection or inflammation develops around the gum
● The area becomes difficult to clean properly
Each situation is assessed with dental examination and diagnostic imaging before any decision is made
Wisdom Teeth Assessment at Nu Smiles Dental
At Nu Smiles Dental Brisbane, wisdom teeth are assessed through:
● Clinical examination
● Digital X-rays of the jaw

Following assessment, treatment options are discussed clearly, including whether monitoring or removal is the most suitable approach.
Wisdom Teeth Removal Procedure
When the wisdom tooth is fully developed and is accessible, extraction could be accomplished similarly to an ordinary tooth extraction.
If a tooth has been damaged or has partially erupted, a surgical extraction might be necessary. This will require restricted accessibility to the tooth in order to ensure a an efficient removal.
The method employed is based on the location of the tooth, structure of the tooth, and the bone surrounding it.
