Wisdom Teeth Pain and Tooth extractions
-
Do you need a tooth extracted, or wisdom teeth removed?
Here's some useful advice and tips about wisdom teeth!
Teeth may need extraction for many reasons. Loose, infected, painful teeth and wisdom teeth are common reasons to book your dental appointment at Elation Dental, Croydon South. Rinsing with warm salt water, pain relief from ibuprofen and or panadol may also help. But make sure you call Elation Dental on 9725 2029 or book online to see us ASAP!
At Elation Dental, we have Dr Kerry Chen attending. As a general dental surgeon, Dr Chen has a particular interest in minor oral surgery. This includes removal of teeth, including many presentations of wisdom teeth. Some extreme cases may still require referral to a specialist oral surgeon.
Please call Elation Dental on 9725 2029 and ask for an appointment with Dr Chen.
Some wisdom teeth extractions require hospital admission and specialist oral surgeons. After organising a dental xray (OPG or orthopantomogram), Dr Chen is able to provide you with options for removal of teeth including wisdom teeth under local anaesthetic.

Why do we get wisdom teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the third molars that usually emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. To prevent potential future problems, we sometimes recommend wisdom tooth extraction even if impacted teeth aren’t currently causing problems. You may feel swollen or sore at the very back of your teeth, or have limited jaw opening. Throbbing pain can be a sign of more severe gum infection from your wisdom teeth.
At Elation Dental, we can treat any immediate pains – often requiring prescribed antibiotics and sometimes analgesics. A dental xray will show us the exact problem with your wisdom teeth. We are able to handle many extractions of wisdom teeth. Howeer, some extreme cases (including those requiring hospital based surgery) will need to be referred to a local oral surgeon.
