Wisdom Teeth Removal Services in Blacktown and Denham Court

Over the past several thousand years, the human jaw has considerably decreased in size, while the teeth have remained roughly the same. Due to this little glitch, a great number of people have no room in their mouths for the very last molar that erupts in puberty, called the ‘wisdom tooth.’

Most people will have their first wisdom teeth erupt when they reach ages 16 to 24. If there is inadequate room for a wisdom tooth to grow properly into the mouth, one of several things could happen. The wisdom tooth may remain impacted, meaning it resides dormant in the bone, where it could remain without causing trouble, or it may develop into a cyst or infection. If it erupts, it may push on the molar in front of it as it erupts, causing root resorption and the loss of the molar it grows into. It can decay adjacent teeth, cause rotations and tipping of adjacent teeth, and erupt in an uncomfortable position affecting biting. It may also only be able to “peek out” of the gum, because there is no further room for it, which means it becomes both impossible to keep clean, since a toothbrush can’t reach under the gum, and impossible to keep sterile, as it is already exposed to oral bacteria. In this case, an infection is very likely.

In some patients, wisdom teeth are missing entirely, and those lucky people never have to worry about them! For the rest, Winning smiles dental surgery has experienced dentists in wisdom teeth removal. We offer a safe, comfortable and smooth tooth extraction procedure. We know that many may fear to have their wisdom teeth removed, and we do our very best to allay your fears and keep you comfortable.

What to expect during wisdom tooth removal

First, our dentist will perform an initial consultation where he/she sits down with the patient to better understand their condition and concerns. In this case, an initial evaluation will be done to determine the reasons for removing the wisdom tooth before taking the right course of action. The patient will then be prepared for the extraction procedure.

During the extraction, an anesthesia is applied on the area to make the procedure pain free and comfortable. Once the area is completely numb, the tooth is removed, and resorbable sutures may be placed at the site of the extraction.

After the procedure, it is common for mild bleeding and swelling to occur. The dentist will apply gauze on the empty socket and you can use ice on the outside area to reduce swelling. You will also be advised to avoid eating hard foods and engaging in heavy physical activity, so plan accordingly! A diet that is comprised of soft foods and cold liquids is often recommended.

Ways to Reduce Wisdom Tooth Swelling

Swelling around your teeth and gums can cause real discomfort. As a result, simple things like eating and speaking can get difficult.


This swelling can originate from a number of reasons such as canker sores, gum disease or pregnancy related issues. Nevertheless, there can be another reason for this swelling, i.e. problem with the wisdom tooth. In this situation, you may wonder if there could be any way to deal with the pain and discomfort due to this swelling.

In this scenario, a few things are worth mentioning.

The wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth are the molars that grow in the back of the mouth. They have a wide surface on the top and they assist well in chewing. Unlike other teeth in your mouth, these molars appear at the age between 17 – 21 years.

Reasons for swelling in wisdom teeth

The real reason for swelling is the bacteria. And the bacteria infection we are talking about in this regard is related to the way your wisdom tooth grows. If the wisdom tooth grows at an angle or it partially erupts through the gum, it can cause bacterial infection which can further lead to swelling.

Swelling of wisdom teeth before removal

There are many people who do not have any issues with their wisdom teeth. However, there are many who have issues like swelling, pus, bad taste, pain, and/or fever due to problems with the wisdom teeth. Now, extraction of wisdom teeth may seem like the only way to solve the problem once and for all but you are going to have to deal with the pain while tooth is still there. A few things that you can do to contain the pain are worth mentioning in this regard.

• You can rinse your mouth with salt water. You will need to add two tablespoon of salt in eight ounces of warm water. Rinse your mouth with this water.
• Another way to reduce the pain is to apply cold compress. Cold compress should numb the area to give you comfort from pain.
• You can also use numbing gels to contain the pain. These numbing gels mainly consist of benzocaine.
• You can also go for the over-the-counter drugs to deal with the pain. These are usually anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. However, you have to keep in mind that this is only the temporary solution to relieve the pain.

Swelling after the wisdom tooth removal

While a couple of days after the wisdom tooth removal may bring a lot of swelling, this swelling is not here to stay for too long. The reason is that the source of swelling and infection will no longer be there. However, you can continue with the above mentioned steps to contain swelling after the tooth removal.

One thing that you need to keep in mind here is that you need to deal with the infection by having consultation with your dentist. Not taking care of infected area after the tooth removal can make things worse if the infection gets severe.
