Wisdom Teeth Extractions in Winnipeg

Wisdom Teeth Extractions Near You

Our “third molars,” or wisdom teeth, frequently erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. Sometimes, these teeth fit comfortably in one’s mouth; other times, they cannot emerge properly. In the case of the latter, they will need to be removed to ensure that your adult teeth are not damaged.

At Greenwoods Dental and Surgical Centres, we offer this procedure to all patients in need. If you’re unsure whether this is the right treatment for you or if you’re dealing with tooth pain, please reach out to us. Our team can help arrange a consultation with one of our skilled dentists near you.

Reasons for Extraction

Every smile is different, meaning that the reasons for wisdom tooth extraction will also differ. That said, some of the most common reasons include:

• Impaction (damaging neighboring teeth)
• Crowding
• Infection
• Cysts or tumors
• Growing in the sinus cavity causing pain
• Preparing or orthodontic treatment
• Gum disease

If you’re dealing with any of these issues, contact a dental professional right away. The sooner you do, the quick you can get relief, and your smile can be returned to normal. At Greenwoods Dental, our doors are always open, so don’t hesitate to give us a call.

What the Procedure Entails

Our dentists and oral surgeons have extensive experience removing wisdom teeth. Before anything can be done, we will have you come in for an oral exam and x-rays to understand the details of your case and design a customized treatment plan.

Once this is done, you’ll be given anesthesia. This medication will thoroughly numb the treatment site and keep you comfortable while our dentist works. Greenwoods offers sedation dentistry to patients who suffer from anxiety or fear. The best option for you based on your medical history and preferences will be discussed before your treatment.

An incision will be made in the surrounding gum tissue to access the tooth. If the tooth is difficult to remove, it will be broken into small pieces. Dental forceps loosen the tooth in its socket, and then it’s extracted. Our dentist in Winnipeg will clean the area and then seal the site with stitches. We’ll provide you with a small patch of gauze to help manage any bleeding. Aftercare instructions will be given to you before you leave the clinic. Let us know if you have questions or concerns.

Aftercare Tips

1. Take Advil or Tylenol to manage discomfort
2. Keep an ice pack against your face to prevent swelling
3. Don’t use a straw, as this could dislodge blood clots
4. Get plenty of rest
5. Don’t engage in physical activity for 24 hours
6. Don’t brush near the site; rinse with salt water to keep it clean
7. Stick to plain soft foods for the first few days
