Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Just like normal tooth extraction that we perform here in Dentapex Stanhope Gardens or Padstow, a local anesthetic is given to a patient during the wisdom tooth removal. This helps in preventing pain or even puts a patient to sleep during the procedure. Our dentist at Dentapex, always recommends avoiding eating before the procedure so that anesthetic can take effect. Depending upon the condition, this procedure generally takes approximately forty minutes.
Wisdom teeth will try to grow even when there is no room for them, this can often form abscesses under the gum line and further health risks. You need to have it checked regardless if you feel a bit of discomfort or not.
