Wisdom Tooth Extraction Toronto
Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Toronto
Wisdom teeth—or third molars—are the final set of teeth to develop in the back of the mouth, typically arriving between the ages of 17 and 25. At Junction House Dental, our general dentists carefully monitor and perform wisdom tooth extractions to resolve issues with crowding, impaction, and localized discomfort before they compromise your broader bite.
Evaluating Third Molars
Not all wisdom teeth require surgical intervention. Our general dentists assess your unique case using three distinct benchmarks.
Monitoring Growth
If there is plenty of room in your jaw and the molars emerge fully grown, healthy, and properly aligned, they can remain in place and simply be cleaned during regular cleanings.
Identifying Impaction
When your mouth lacks sufficient room, teeth can become trapped beneath the gum line (impacted). This trapped positioning creates pressure, inflammation, and potential cyst development.
Timely Extraction
If digital X-rays highlight dynamic shifting or risk to neighboring teeth, strategic removal is planned at an optimal age to protect your overall oral framework.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Many patients remain unaware of developmental third molars until pressure changes or localized inflammation begins. If you or your teenager experience any of the following common signs, an evaluation is highly recommended:
- Jaw discomfort or swelling
- Restricted range of motion/opening
- Persistent dull headaches or earaches
- Heightened thermal sensitivity
- Tender, bleeding, or irritated gums
- Visible crowding or shifting of straight teeth
- A persistent bad taste or chronic bad breath
- Numbness or tingling along the jawline
