What Are Wisdom Teeth and Difficult Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third molars, usually appearing in late teens or early twenties. They may become impacted, grow at awkward angles, or cause crowding, pain, or infection. “Difficult teeth” include any teeth that are hard to extract due to position, root structure, or previous dental work.

The Surgical Procedure

The procedure depends on your specific needs and the complexity of the extraction:

1. Consultation and Assessment
   • Comprehensive oral examination
   • X-rays or 3D imaging to evaluate tooth position
   • Discussion of anaesthesia options
2. Anaesthesia Options
   • Local anaesthetic – numbs the area for minor extractions
   • IV sedation – relaxes you while remaining conscious
   • General anaesthetic – for complex cases or multiple extractions, ensuring full comfort
3. Extraction Procedure
   • Gentle, precise surgical techniques to remove teeth
   • Minimising trauma to surrounding tissue
   • Sutures applied if necessary to promote healing
4. Aftercare and Recovery
   • Clear instructions to manage swelling, pain, and diet
   • Advice on oral hygiene during recovery
   • Follow-up appointments to monitor healing

Recovery Expectations

• Mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort for a few days
• Stitches usually dissolve or are removed within 7–10 days
• Most patients resume normal activities within 1–2 weeks
• Full healing typically occurs within 3–4 weeks

Why Early Treatment Matters

Prompt removal of problematic wisdom teeth or difficult teeth can prevent:

• Infection or abscess formation
• Damage to neighbouring teeth
• Cysts or bone complications
• Persistent pain or bite issues
