Wisdom Teeth Removal

Gentle & Professional Care for Problem Wisdom Teeth

For many people, wisdom teeth erupt without issues. But for others, these late-developing molars can cause pain, infection, and crowding—often requiring removal. At Serene Family Dental in Ropes Crossing, we provide safe, gentle, and effective wisdom teeth removal to protect your oral health and relieve discomfort.

Our caring team is here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, using modern techniques and a compassionate approach.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars, usually appearing in your late teens or early twenties. While some people have no problems, wisdom teeth can often become:

  • Impacted – trapped under the gums or against other teeth
  • Partially erupted – breaking through at an angle, making cleaning difficult
  • Crowded – pushing against other teeth and disrupting alignment
  • Infected – leading to swelling, pain, or gum disease

Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal

You may need to see a dentist for assessment if you experience:

  • Jaw pain or stiffness at the back of the mouth
  • Swollen, bleeding, or tender gums
  • Headaches or ear pain linked to jaw pressure
  • Difficulty opening your mouth fully
  • Repeated infections or decay around wisdom teeth
  • Overcrowding or shifting teeth

At Serene Family Dental, we make wisdom teeth removal straightforward and comfortable:

  • Comprehensive Examination – X-rays assess the position of your wisdom teeth.
  • Personalised Treatment Plan – we explain your options and recommend the best approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

No — the procedure itself is not painful because we use local anaesthetic to numb the area. You may feel some pressure, but not pain. After the extraction, mild discomfort and swelling are normal, but these can be managed with medication and proper aftercare.

Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth taken out. However, removal is often recommended if you have:

  • Pain or swelling at the back of your mouth

  • Repeated gum infections or decay around wisdom teeth

  • Impacted or partially erupted teeth

  • Overcrowding or shifting of other teeth

A dental examination and X-rays are the best way to determine if removal is necessary.

Most patients recover in 3–7 days. You may need to stick to soft foods for the first few days and avoid strenuous activity. Complete healing of the gums can take a couple of weeks. Our team will provide personalised aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.

Stick to soft foods like yoghurt, mashed potatoes, soup, smoothies, and scrambled eggs for the first few days. Avoid hard, crunchy, spicy, or very hot foods that could irritate the healing area.

If problematic wisdom teeth are left untreated, they can lead to:

  • Ongoing pain and swelling

  • Repeated infections

  • Tooth decay or gum disease

  • Damage to nearby teeth

  • Misalignment of your smile
