Wisdom Teeth Removal In Marrickville
Wisdom teeth are third molar teeth that usually come out into the mouth between the ages of 17 and 21 years old.
Often there is not enough space for wisdom teeth to come through. They are also very difficult to clean being so far back in your mouth.
Impaction of wisdom teeth is a common problem when there is not enough space for them to come through. In some cases, the best treatment is to extract the wisdom teeth completely.
Damage to neighbouring teeth can mean that you lose more than just the wisdom tooth if it is not taken out in time.
The X-ray above shows an impacted wisdom tooth that has destroyed the second molar tooth. This could have been avoided if the wisdom tooth was removed earlier.

Do I need to go to a hospital to have my wisdom teeth removed?
In some cases, it is best to have wisdom teeth removed in the hospital setting under general anaesthetic, so you are completely unconscious. However, often they can be removed in the dental chair in the same way as other teeth can be extracted in the dental chair. We can advise on the best option for the removal of your wisdom teeth.
