When wisdom teeth cause trouble, we’re here to help
Wisdom teeth don’t always come in the way they should, and when they grow at the wrong angle or only partially emerge, they can cause discomfort, swelling, infection, or crowding of your other teeth. In these cases, having them removed can help relieve pain and prevent further problems, keeping your smile healthy and comfortable.
Our skilled team at Moorooka Square Dental takes a gentle and careful approach to wisdom teeth extractions. Using advanced imaging and modern techniques, including an Orthopantomogram (OPG) X-ray, we can see exactly how your teeth are positioned and plan your treatment with precision for a safe, smooth procedure.
Wisdom teeth out, comfort in?
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to arrive—usually in your late teens or early twenties—and often the most troublesome. With limited space to grow, they can push, twist, or only partly emerge, causing pain, swelling, or crowding. In short: when wisdom teeth don’t play nice, the discomfort and other issues they create can quickly wipe the smile off your face. That’s why removal is often the best way to relieve pain, prevent infection, and keep your smile healthy.

Do you need your wisdom teeth removed?
Wisdom teeth don’t always need to be removed, but extraction may be recommended if they cause problems. Common signs that you might need removal include:
- Pain or tenderness at the back of the mouth
- Swelling, redness, or infection around the gums near the wisdom teeth
- Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
- Difficulty opening your mouth or discomfort while chewing
- Recurrent cysts or damage to adjacent teeth caused by impacted
wisdom teeth
Your dentist will assess your teeth and take digital X-rays to determine whether extraction is the safest and most suitable option for you.
