Wisdom Teeth Removal in Mississauga, ON

Assessment and Treatment for Problematic Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth are the third molars located at the back of the mouth. While some wisdom teeth develop without causing problems, others can become impacted, difficult to clean or associated with pain and inflammation.

At Cracovia Dental in Mississauga, we can assess your wisdom teeth and determine whether monitoring, treatment or removal is appropriate.

What Are Impacted Wisdom Teeth?

A wisdom tooth is considered impacted when it cannot fully emerge into its expected position.

This can occur because there is insufficient space, the tooth is positioned at an angle or surrounding bone or gum tissue prevents normal eruption.

Signs of Wisdom Tooth Problems

Possible symptoms include:

Pain at the back of the mouth
Swollen or tender gums
Jaw discomfort
Difficulty opening your mouth
Food trapping around partially erupted teeth
Unpleasant taste or bad breath
Recurrent inflammation around the tooth

Some impacted wisdom teeth produce no obvious symptoms and are identified during examination or dental imaging.

Do All Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?

No. Wisdom teeth do not automatically require extraction.

Your dentist will consider their position, development, symptoms, ability to keep them clean and potential impact on surrounding structures before making a recommendation.

Wisdom Teeth Assessment

Assessment typically involves examining the mouth and reviewing dental imaging when clinically indicated.

If removal is recommended, your dentist will explain the procedure, relevant risks, expected recovery and aftercare requirements.

Recovery After Wisdom Teeth Removal

Recovery varies depending on the position of the teeth and complexity of treatment.

Following post-operative instructions is important. These may include recommendations regarding eating, oral hygiene, physical activity and care of the extraction sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does everyone need their wisdom teeth removed?

No. Removal depends on the position, condition and potential risks associated with each wisdom tooth.

At what age are wisdom teeth usually assessed?

Wisdom teeth commonly develop during the late teenage years and early adulthood, although timing varies considerably.

Does wisdom teeth removal hurt?

Local anesthetic and, when appropriate, other comfort-management options may be used. Post-operative discomfort varies.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery depends on the number and position of the teeth removed, treatment complexity and individual healing.

What can I eat after wisdom teeth removal?

Patients are typically advised to begin with appropriate softer foods and follow the specific post-operative instructions provided by their dental team.

What happens if an impacted wisdom tooth is not removed?

Not every impacted tooth causes problems. Your dentist can determine whether monitoring or treatment is appropriate based on its position and surrounding structures.

I would definitely recommend this clinic. 👍👍👍The staff—including the front desk, dentist, and assistant—were all kind, respectful, professional and very helpful. I came in with broken crown and I was quite shaken. They made sure I was comfortable and provided quick service to secure the site. Since I don’t have dental benefits, they provided me with  information, and explained how I might qualify for coverage through the government program. They also offered assistance in application process and offered discount in consideration of my situation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience at the dentist today! I went with my two kids, and from the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. The team was incredibly patient, kind, and professional, especially with my children—they took the time to explain everything in a friendly way and made sure they felt at ease.

The clinic was very clean and well-organized, and the service was efficient without feeling rushed. Both of my kids left smiling, which says a lot! It’s not always easy to find a place that is great with children, but this office truly exceeded our expectations.

Highly recommend to any families looking for a caring and trustworthy dental team! 🤗
