Wisdom Teeth Extractions

About Your Treatment

At Bloor Dental Health Centre, wisdom teeth removal is performed to protect your long-term oral health and prevent problems that can develop when third molars do not have enough space to grow properly. 

Treatment is carefully planned to ensure comfort, safety, and effective recovery.

Why Wisdom Teeth May Need to Be Removed

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to develop, often emerging in the late teens or early adulthood. In many cases, there isn’t enough space in the mouth to accommodate them properly, which can lead to complications over time.

Removal may be recommended when wisdom teeth are:

  • Impacted or trapped under the gums
  • Growing at an angle or pushing against other teeth
  • Causing pain, swelling, or repeated irritation
  • Contributing to crowding or shifting of teeth
  • Difficult to clean, increasing risk of decay or infection

Even when they are not causing immediate symptoms, wisdom teeth can still create future issues if left untreated.

Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal

Removing problematic wisdom teeth can help protect both current comfort and long-term dental health. Benefits include:

Relief from pain and pressure in the back of the mouth
Reduced risk of infection and gum inflammation
Prevention of damage to nearby teeth
Lower chance of crowding or bite changes
Easier cleaning and improved oral hygiene
Protection against future complications

What to Expect During Treatment

Wisdom tooth extractions are performed with local anesthesia and, when needed, sedation options to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The tooth may be gently removed in one piece or divided into sections if required.

The area is then cleaned carefully, and stitches may be placed to support healing. Most patients are able to return home the same day.

Recovery and Aftercare

After the procedure, it is normal to experience some swelling, mild discomfort, and light bleeding for a short period. These symptoms gradually improve over the first few days.

Supportive aftercare typically includes rest, soft foods, and following post-treatment instructions to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. Healing laser treatments to speed up the rate of recovery
