WHAT IS WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL?

Wisdom teeth can emerge between the ages of 17 – 25. Sometimes there is not enough room in the mouth, and they become impacted in the gums. This can cause gum infections or decay.

At Lady Margaret Road Dental Surgery, we recommend you book a consultation if you are experiencing pain from your wisdom teeth.

Often you can have them removed in the general dental practice; however, in some situations, you may need to be referred to an oral surgeon. Your dentist in Southall will assess your wisdom teeth and the options for removing them to prevent further pain or complications.

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT

Your dentist will provide home-care instructions to ensure a fast recovery; these may include:
