Wisdom teeth get trapped (impacted) when jaws lack space.
The problems
Infection: food and bacteria get trapped. Damage: an impacted tooth can destroy neighbouring healthy molars. Decay: wisdom teeth sit too far back to clean. Cysts: left untreated, they can damage the jawbone.
The solution: removal
Removal stops pain, ending swelling and aches, and prevents damage, protecting your other teeth.
Your options
Depending on position and your preference, removal is done under local anaesthetic in our Charlestown rooms, with sedation, or under general anaesthesia as a day-stay in hospital.
