Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Vietnamese Speaking Dentists
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last permanent teeth to develop and typically begin to appear in the late teenage years or early twenties. For some people, wisdom teeth can grow normally and remain healthy. For others, there may not be enough room for them to fully erupt, or they may develop at an angle or remain partially or completely below the gum.
When wisdom teeth cause problems or are at risk of causing problems, removal may be recommended.

When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed if they are causing or contributing to:
- Pain or discomfort
- Gum inflammation or infection
- Difficulty keeping the area clean
- Tooth decay
- Damage to neighbouring teeth
- Repeated infections around a partially erupted tooth
- Cysts or other changes around the tooth
- Crowding or other dental concerns
Not every wisdom tooth needs to be removed. Your dentist will assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth and discuss whether removal is recommended based on your individual circumstances.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
If your wisdom teeth require removal, your dentist will first examine the area and take the appropriate digital X-rays to evaluate the position of the teeth and surrounding structures.
Many wisdom teeth can be safely removed at our office using local anesthetic. Your dentist will make sure the area is thoroughly numb before beginning the procedure.
Depending on the position and development of the wisdom tooth, some extractions may be straightforward while others may require a more involved surgical approach. Your dentist will explain the recommended procedure and answer any questions you may have before treatment begins.
Wisdom Teeth Removal at Newmarket Dental Health
We provide wisdom teeth extractions at Newmarket Dental Health and are able to treat many patients in our office.
Every patient and every wisdom tooth is different. If your wisdom teeth are particularly complex, deeply positioned, or require specialized surgical care, we may refer you to an oral surgeon. This allows you to receive treatment from the provider and setting that is most appropriate for your individual needs.
If a referral is recommended, we will explain why and help guide you through the process.
After Your Wisdom Tooth Extraction
After your extraction, we will provide you with detailed instructions to help you care for the area during the healing process. Some tenderness, swelling, or sensitivity can occur following an extraction, particularly with more involved procedures, but your dentist will discuss what you can expect and how to care for the area at home.
We encourage you to follow your post-operative instructions carefully and contact our office if you have any concerns during your recovery.
