South Calgary Wisdom Teeth Extraction

While a tooth extraction is always a last resort, there are situations when your dentist may recommend the removal of your wisdom teeth. At Shawnessy Smiles Dental, Dr. Roman Koutsil is pleased to offer patients safe and effective Wisdom Teeth Removal In Calgary.

Located in the very back of the mouth, wisdom teeth are generally the last set of teeth to develop in your mouth, although some people never get their wisdom teeth. For most people, wisdom teeth grow in without any problem. For others, however, problems arise and their removal is recommended. In many cases, there is not enough room to accommodate the wisdom teeth, which impedes their ability to grow into the mouth correctly. For some people, the wisdom teeth only partially emerge through the gums which can result in cavities, crowding issues with the surrounding teeth, or may cause gum infections. When wisdom teeth are first developing, they may begin to grow in an unusual direction. This uneven development may be responsible for several problems, including crowding and damage to the adjacent second molars.

When there is not enough space for the wisdom teeth to erupt into your mouth, this is known as ‘Impacted Wisdom Teeth’. When wisdom teeth are impacted, the opening around the teeth may become a fertile ground for bacteria to start developing, leading to infection in the gum tissues causing discomfort, swelling, pain, and illness. Early removal of impacted wisdom teeth is often recommended to avoid future problems and avoid costly surgical procedures.

Dr. Roman Koutsil completes a thorough examination of your mouth, including x-rays to diagnose the type of wisdom teeth removal you require. If your examination reveals that your wisdom teeth are aligned properly and the surrounding gum tissue is healthy, they do not always have to be removed.
