Wisdom teeth can cause discomfort and pain, especially when they break forward or lie in the wrong position. It is important to have the wisdom teeth evaluated to avoid further complications. Often it is not appropriate to remove a wisdom tooth with ongoing infection, as this can increase the risk of infection and severe pain in the aftermath of treatment. In such cases, we can provide urgent pain relief and temporary treatment, with planning for eventual removal at a later date.

If removal of the wisdom tooth is necessary, we will set up a new appointment for this at the dentist or specialist. The removal itself is not carried out during this hour, as we focus on assessment and pain relief.

If it has been a long time since you have been to the dentist, we recommend that you opt for the “Full examination and thorough cleaning”, which includes the assessment of the wisdom teeth as part of the general examination.

This treatment includes:

• Assessment of the wisdom tooth
• Emergency treatment and relief of any pain.
• The removal of the wisdom tooth will be set up at an agreed time later.
