Wisdom Teeth Removal Etobicoke
One of the most common oral surgeries that most people require in their late teens or early twenties is the extraction of wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth, called so because they usually do not appear until adulthood, almost always require removal. This is because our skulls and jaws have changed shape over human history, shortening our jaw's length for increased cranial capacity. As a result, our third molars, which used to grow in alignment with the rest of our dentition, now tend to grow at angles that cause pain and threaten the well-being of our other teeth.

As wisdom teeth develop, the roots become longer, and the jaw bone more dense. When it is necessary to remove impacted wisdom teeth in your thirties, forties or beyond, the post-operative course can be prolonged with a higher complication rate. As a result, treating these complications is often more difficult and less predictable than with a younger patient. Healing may be slower, and there may be a higher chance of infection. In general, you will heal faster, more predictably and have fewer complications if treated in your teens or early twenties.
Several problems can occur if you do not have enough room in your mouth for your third molars to erupt fully. Impacted wisdom teeth should be removed before their root structure is fully developed. In some patients, it is as early as 12 or 13, and in others, it may not be until the early twenties. Problems tend to occur with increasing frequency after the age of 30. Some of the possible issues related to not removing your wisdom teeth include infection, cyst formation, possible crowding, and damage to adjacent teeth.
What to Expect with Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Our team understands that the idea of dental surgery can be intimidating and stressful for many patients. To alleviate some of this anxiety, we ensure that patients know what to expect from their surgery and recovery to foster confidence moving forward.
The approach we take for the extraction can vary, depending on your specific situation and whether the teeth are impacted. An impacted wisdom tooth is blocked by other dental structure parts, preventing it from erupting through the gum line. This can cause significant discomfort, inflammation, other teeth shifting out of alignment, and potential infection.
Recovering from Wisdom Teeth Removal Surgery
After surgery, patients receive a prescription for medication to reduce discomfort during the healing period. Additionally, each patient gets specific instructions for at-home aftercare, detailing how to prevent dry sockets, which foods are most comfortable to eat, and how long you should plan to rest.
Different people experience different things after their wisdom teeth have been removed. You may experience soreness in the jaw, mild swelling, or oozing from the socket. While most patients feel better after only a few days, you should avoid brushing your teeth, rinsing with mouthwash, and spitting for at least 24 hours following your treatment.

Clean Air Technology
With all the worries people have about going to the dentist, breathing unhealthy air shouldn’t be one of them. Dental offices are public, high-traffic spaces, with patients themselves a source of air pollution. And because of the impact of common colds, diseases, viruses and illnesses, the need to prevent the spread of airborne viral and bacterial infectious agents is greater than ever.
However, our medical-grade air purifiers remove chemicals, toxins, germs, odours, and most importantly they kill airborne viruses, to help reduce the spread of illness. Therefore you can breathe easily at every appointment that our clean air technology and air purification technology is there to ensure your safety throughout your visit.
