We try to save teeth wherever it is realistic to do so. But a tooth broken below the gum, split vertically, or destroyed by decay to the point where nothing is left to build on, has to come out \u2014 and leaving it in place risks a spreading infection.<\/p>\n
Wisdom teeth are a separate problem. They erupt last, often with nowhere to go, and end up impacted: partly through the gum, angled into the tooth in front, and impossible to clean. That traps food and bacteria and causes repeated swelling, pain and decay in the perfectly healthy molar next door.<\/p>\n
Extractions are done under local anaesthesia \u2014 you feel firm pressure, not pain. Surgical removal of an impacted wisdom tooth takes longer and usually involves stitches. We give you written aftercare instructions and our number, and we will tell you honestly beforehand how much swelling to expect and how many days off you may want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
