Wisdom teeth are the last molars to appear, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, these teeth can cause pain, crowding, or infection as they erupt. At Prime Smile Dental Clinic in Aurora, we provide safe, gentle, and effective wisdom teeth removal to prevent complications and keep your smile healthy for years to come.

Why Wisdom Teeth Often Need Removal

Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth extracted, but when these molars don’t have enough space to grow properly, they can cause serious dental issues. Common reasons for removal include:

• Impaction: When the tooth is trapped beneath the gums or jawbone
  
• Crowding: When wisdom teeth push against nearby teeth, causing alignment problems
  
• Decay or Infection: Partially erupted wisdom teeth are harder to clean, leading to bacteria buildup
  
• Pain or Swelling: Caused by inflammation or gum irritation in the back of the mouth
  

Removing these teeth early can help you avoid pain, swelling, and more complex dental procedures later on.

What to Expect During Wisdom Teeth Removal

At Prime Smile Dental Clinic, we make the extraction process as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Here’s how it typically works:

1. Consultation & X-Rays: Our dentist examines your mouth and takes digital X-rays to determine the position and health of your wisdom teeth.
   
2. Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on your situation, we’ll recommend a simple extraction or a surgical one if the teeth are impacted.
   
3. Comfort & Anesthesia: We use local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure a pain-free procedure. Sedation options may also be available for anxious patients.
   
4. Extraction: The tooth is carefully removed, and the site is cleaned to promote proper healing.
   
5. Aftercare Instructions: You’ll receive clear guidance on caring for your mouth, managing swelling, and preventing infection during recovery.
   

Recovery and Aftercare Tips

Recovery time depends on how many teeth were removed and the complexity of the procedure. Most patients experience mild soreness for a few days, which can be managed with rest, soft foods, and prescribed medications.

Here are a few aftercare tips for smooth healing:

• Avoid hard or crunchy foods for several days
  
• Rinse gently with warm salt water after 24 hours
  
• Avoid smoking or drinking through a straw
  
• Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling
  

Our team will check in with you and ensure you’re healing comfortably.

Do You Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed?

You may need your wisdom teeth removed if you’re experiencing:

• Persistent jaw pain or swelling in the back of your mouth
  
• Gum tenderness or infection around the molars
  
• Difficulty opening your mouth fully
  
• Shifting or crowding of your other teeth
  

Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t currently painful, it’s still a good idea to get them evaluated — early detection often means simpler, faster treatment.
