Wisdom teeth removal in Cannington
Wisdom teeth do not always need removing. When they are impacted, decayed or causing pain or infection, removal is often recommended.
What to know
An examination and panoramic X-ray show the position of the teeth and how close they sit to nerves and sinuses. Many wisdom teeth can be removed in the chair under local anaesthetic; more complex cases may be offered sedation or referred to an oral surgeon.
Your dentist will explain the likely difficulty, recovery time, risks and costs before anything is booked.

Common questions
Do all wisdom teeth need to come out?
No. Wisdom teeth that are healthy, fully through and easy to clean can often stay. Your dentist will advise based on your X-ray and symptoms.
Can I have them removed while asleep?
Sedation options are available for suitable patients. Your dentist will discuss what is appropriate for you.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
