Wisdom teeth may need to be extracted if they affect other teeth – often referred to as “coming in sideways” or “impacted wisdom teeth”.
Wisdom teeth begin to appear in adults in their late teens and early twenties, and sometimes even in their thirties.
In most people, wisdom teeth grow normally without causing any problems.
However, in some people, the wisdom teeth grow abnormally, causing pain and discomfort. This is when wisdom teeth extraction or surgery in Melbourne may be recommended.
This could happen because of a lack of space in the mouth, resulting in the wisdom tooth pushing into the teeth around it and causing pain.
Misaligned wisdom teeth can not only damage the alignment of the surrounding teeth but also result in damaging the jaw and the associated nerves.
It is more likely that people have 28 teeth before their wisdom teeth begin to erupt. When the wisdom teeth erupt, there may not be enough space in the jaw for all 32 teeth.
Due to this lack of space, a wisdom tooth may not erupt fully. Such a case is called an ‘Impacted Wisdom Tooth‘, causing pain and, in some cases, infection. Removing the wisdom teeth can prevent impaction and overcrowding in your jaw.
Some of the problems associated with impacted wisdom teeth treatment include bacterial and plaque buildup, the development of cysts and tumors, infection, and jaw & gum disease.
In most cases, your dentist will recommend a wisdom tooth extraction in Melbourne CBD, which is the easiest and quickest way to relieve you of the pain.

Wisdom teeth removal in Melbourne is a very common procedure to fix or prevent problems with your last set of molars. You can eat soft foods and return to your regular, daily activities the day after surgery.
