Wisdom Teeth Removal at Norlane Dental – Protecting Your Smile Before Problems Start
Understanding Wisdom Teeth and Why They Matter
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to appear—usually between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people have no issues at all, many experience complications that require removal. At Norlane Dental Surgery, we offer gentle, expert wisdom teeth extractions to prevent pain, infection, and long-term oral health problems.
Why Wisdom Teeth May Need to Be Removed
Not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed. However, extractions are often recommended in cases where the teeth are:
- Impacted – trapped beneath the gum or jawbone
- Crowded – pushing against adjacent teeth and causing alignment issues
- Infected or decayed – due to difficulty cleaning far-back molars
- Partially erupted – creating a flap where bacteria collect
- Causing pain, swelling, or cysts
Signs You May Need Wisdom Tooth Removal
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Swollen gums or infection at the back of the mouth
- Bad breath or a bad taste
- Difficulty opening your mouth
- Headaches or earaches linked to jaw pressure
Our Approach at Norlane Dental
