Who Requires Wisdom Teeth Removal & How It Helps?
Wisdom teeth are the four adult teeth that show up in the very back of the mouth; they typically show up between the ages of 17 and 25. They are often referred to as third molars. However, they don’t show up in every person.
What are the reasons people generally remove their wisdom teeth?
Most people remove their wisdom teeth due to pain that they’re experiencing in the gums and mouth. This can cause headaches to develop, especially as the teeth begin to erupt. Some teeth erupt and can become infected, making it necessary to immediately extract them with a dental professional or oral surgeon.
What happens during a wisdom teeth removal procedure?
First, the surgeon administers the anesthesia (sometimes, of the patient’s choice), depending on how complicated the procedure is expected to be.
Then, the surgeon incurs the gum to expose the bone that makes up the tooth’s foundation. He or she then removes the part of the bone blocking the tooth root. If he or she finds that the tooth will be easier to remove in sections, it is then divided. Then the tooth is officially removed, and the removal site is cleaned. If necessary, he or she then stitches it up and places the gauze to control the bleeding. Most wisdom tooth sites take about six weeks to heal.

Wisdom tooth removal is the surgical extraction of these teeth. It is a very common, and usually a simple, procedure. However, the tooth’s position can lead to complications and require a little more effort in the surgical procedure.

How much does wisdom teeth removal cost in Brisbane?
On average, it costs between $200 and $400 to have a wisdom tooth removal in Brisbane. However, it may cost more for patients with more complicated cases who need a bit more than that. This is why initial consultation and dental x-rays are essential.
Patients who don’t have a primary dentist are encouraged to make an appointment with a local dentist for an examination and a consultation. Everything, including the cost, should be covered.
What are the benefits of extracting wisdom teeth?
There are many benefits to wisdom teeth removal. Even though they don’t cause issues for everyone who gets them, dentists and oral surgeons often recommend their removal anyway to prevent future issues.
For example, a wisdom tooth may not have the room to erupt at all, which can cause pain and, worse, infections. When a wisdom tooth gets infected, it can spread through the jaw and get into the respiratory system, which can lead to sepsis and hospitalization.
