What Are Wisdom Teeth and When Do They Need to Be Removed?
Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in, usually in the late teens or early twenties. Many people do not have enough room in their jaw for them. When that happens, they can come in crooked, stay trapped under the gum or only partly break through, which can lead to pain, swelling, infection and damage to nearby teeth.
Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out. Some can stay in place if they are healthy, clean and fully in position. If you are looking for wisdom teeth removal in Calgary SW, we will examine your teeth, review your X-rays and explain whether removal is recommended, so you can decide with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wisdom teeth are usually removed when they cause pain, infection or crowding, or when they are trapped under the gum. Healthy wisdom teeth that are fully in place may be left alone and monitored. An exam and X-rays show which case applies to you.
Wisdom teeth typically appear between the ages of 17 and 25, although the timing varies from person to person. Some people never develop all four, and some have teeth that stay hidden under the gum.
If a problem wisdom tooth is left alone, it can lead to repeated infections, gum disease, cavities and damage to the neighbouring tooth. Wisdom teeth that cause no problems can often stay, which is why a consultation is useful.
The area is numbed, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some soreness and swelling are normal afterwards and usually ease within a few days. Most people return to normal activities within a week, and we give you clear aftercare instructions.
