3. Wisdom Teeth Extraction: Preserving Your Smile and Oral Health

Wisdom Tooth Extraction Services in Bolton, ON Area

Do you have a troublesome wisdom tooth? Don’t put up with pain any longer. Instead, consider safe and painless wisdom teeth removal services in Bolton, Ontario. At Humber Valley Dental, Drs. Geeta Gautham, David Ma, and Ammar Taimish provide gentle extractions rooted in precision, compassion, and personalized care.

Wisdom teeth are the last to erupt and are common in individuals aged between 17 and 25. Unfortunately, permanent teeth have already grown at this age, so wisdom teeth rarely have sufficient space to erupt healthily. Usually, your wisdom teeth come in at the wrong angle or even remain trapped (impacted) beneath the gum line.

Not all wisdom teeth need removal. However, your dentist will likely recommend extraction if they cause the following issues.

Overcrowding.
Damage to the nearby structures.
Tooth pain and swollen gums.
Increased risk of infections.
Impaction.
Cysts or tumors.

The decision to remove your wisdom teeth is never a one-size-fits-all solution. We always recommend extraction after a close evaluation with digital X-rays. Sometimes, we can recommend removal even if your wisdom teeth aren’t causing issues now. When we suspect your teeth will cause problems in the future, we recommend removal to get ahead of potential issues.

What can I expect during wisdom teeth extraction?

If your Bolton dentist recommends wisdom teeth removal, don’t worry. We’ll ensure your extraction is quick and seamless. Our office combines anesthetics, sedation dentistry, and gentle techniques to maximize comfort, safety, and satisfaction.

After evaluating your wisdom teeth, your extraction can be simple or surgical.

Simple extraction: These extractions are ideal if your wisdom tooth is accessible in the mouth. The dentist will wiggle your tooth in several motions and pull it out in one piece once it is loose.
Surgical extraction: Impacted teeth must be removed surgically. For this procedure, the dentist incises your gums and possibly may remove some bone around the tooth for better access. Often, we sever the tooth into several pieces to ensure minimal disturbance to the surrounding structures during removal. Then, we close the wound with sutures to kick-start your recovery.

Once we remove your tooth, post-op care is essential to ensure a seamless recovery. Use prescribed pain relievers and antibiotics as instructed. Take it easy for 24–48 hours. Avoid strenuous activity. As you heal, observe good oral hygiene and start with soft, easy-to-chew foods until you heal. Avoid anything that creates suction to prevent a dry socket. This means avoiding straws, aggressive spitting, and touching the extraction site. Patients recover within days when they follow the dentist’s instructions.

What are the benefits of wisdom teeth removal?

Wisdom teeth removal provides peace of mind for your smile’s future. Here are reasons to consider it.

A healthier mouth: Wisdom teeth can create pockets of space that are hard to clean. Removing troublesome teeth improves oral hygiene and reduces the risk of infections.
Pain relief: Many patients experience immediate pain relief after removing impacted wisdom teeth.
Save money: Removing wisdom teeth saves you from costly problems.
Improve alignment: Keep your smile aligned by removing wisdom teeth that push and crowd surrounding teeth.
