Swollen gum around a tooth
Recurrent symptoms or difficulty cleaning should be assessed.

Understanding the treatment
Not every wisdom tooth needs removal
Wisdom teeth are the back teeth that usually emerge later than the other teeth. A tooth may be partly covered by gum or blocked from coming through fully. This can be associated with cleaning difficulties, inflammation or other dental problems.
A tooth without problems may be monitored rather than removed. An examination, with imaging where appropriate, helps explain its position and the reasons for a recommendation. Ask what is causing your symptoms and whether a specialist assessment is needed.

Your questions
A little more clarity
before your visit.
These answers are a starting point. Your consultation is where we discuss your individual situation.
Does an impacted tooth always need extraction?
No. Position alone does not establish the need. Symptoms and examination findings guide the discussion.
Will I need an X-ray?
Imaging may help assess position. Ask why a particular investigation is recommended.
Can all teeth be removed in the clinic?
Dr. Akshay Shah and Dr. Dishant Pandit are the oral and maxillofacial surgeons on the team. Your assessment will clarify whether treatment is needed and the clinic will confirm any surgical and imaging arrangements.
How much time should I allow for recovery?
Discuss an individual expectation rather than assuming a fixed number of days.
Can I wait for a routine callback if swelling is worsening?
Seek prompt dental assessment for worsening symptoms; a routine enquiry form is not urgent care.
Are there any risks or limitations?
Removal can involve discomfort, swelling, infection or a painful healing problem called dry socket. Nearby nerves may be affected, changing sensation. Your individual risks depend on the tooth position and procedure; ask the clinician to explain them before consenting.
