Wisdom teeth

As we grow through young adulthood, so too do our wisdom teeth. While most develop uneventfully, occasionally they can cause grief.

 

Our dentists can regularly monitor their progress until the age at which most problems occur, has passed. Regular monitoring also allows treatment before complications arise. These include pain, infection, possible crowding of the dentition and decay of either the wisdom tooth itself or of the adjacent molar.

Occasionally, patients will be referred on to an oral surgeon should a particular problem present unexpected complexities. Our dentists at Stafford Dental Centre are well experienced and will never take unnecessary risks. Although at times it may seem inconvenient to be referred to a specialist, we choose to always prioritize your well-being and will refer you when it is in your best interest.
