🦷 Wisdom Tooth Extraction: What You Need to Know
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge—usually between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people have no issues, many experience pain, crowding, or infection due to lack of space in the mouth.
At dentalappointments.com.au, we provide safe, comfortable, and advanced wisdom tooth removal to protect your long-term oral health.
❗ Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?
Not all wisdom teeth require extraction, but removal is recommended when they cause:
Pain or discomfort
Swollen or bleeding gums
Infection or decay
Impacted teeth (stuck under gums)
Crowding of nearby teeth
Jaw stiffness or difficulty opening mouth
