Wisdom Tooth Extractions in Weston, Toronto, ON

Third molars typically start to erupt between ages 17–23. As extra teeth, they often cause complications in the mouth such as infection, overcrowding, impaction, and more. The problems that wisdom teeth cause are easier to treat in younger patients. For this reason, we recommend that the third molars be removed early. Your Toronto dentist will monitor all your child’s teeth during regular checkups. This includes the development of underlying wisdom teeth. If these last teeth must be removed, an oral surgeon will handle the procedure.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions in Toronto, ON

During the tooth removal consultation, a dental exam and mouth x-rays will be performed. Your surgeon will review the position of the teeth on the images and put together the treatment plan. This will include anesthesia to maximize the patient’s experience.

All surgical extractions will be performed in the comfort of one of our hospital-style suites. Our team uses the latest, state-of-the-art monitoring equipment. In our Toronto, ON area dental office, we offer several types of anesthesia for wisdom teeth removal, such as:

Local anesthesia: All oral surgeries require the use of local anesthesia. This type of sedation is used in conjunction with other forms of dental anesthesia. Local anesthesia is applied directly to the treatment area. As conscious sedation, you will remain awake, but experience no pain or discomfort.

Laughing gas: This is a mild form of sedation that is often used with other types of sedation. It is designed to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure. Laughing gas enters and exits the system quickly so you can get back to daily life immediately, without downtime.

IV sedation: Intravenous sedation induces a sleep-like state. Most wisdom tooth removals are performed under IV sedation. As a result, you will have no recollection of the procedure. Also, you will need to arrange a ride home after the extraction.
