In addition, teeth sometimes have to be removed prior to certain orthodontic procedures when there is overcrowding to make more room for the remaining teeth. If a tooth is too weak it might be removed as it will not withstand the pressure placed on it by braces.
Your dentist will numb the area surrounding the tooth to be extracted so that you remain comfortable throughout. The tooth is removed and the whole procedure should only last a few minutes.
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to appear at the back of the mouth, usually by the time you reach your mid-twenties but sometimes earlier or later. For most people, they do not cause any problems. Sometimes there is not enough room for them to grow properly.
They might get stuck in the gum (impacted) or grow out at an angle. Impacted wisdom teeth will not need to be removed if they don’t cause any problems. Having your wisdom teeth removed is a common procedure and one that we do at Hampden Dental & Aesthetics Clinic using a local anaesthetic. Our dentists are also well experienced in treating nervous patients, so to ensure that you are in the safest hands.
