– Wisdom Tooth Pain in Calgary SW

Wisdom teeth – the third molars at the back of the mouth – often cause problems when they don’t have room to emerge properly. Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause significant pain, infection, crowding of adjacent teeth, and damage to surrounding bone. At Westside Dental, wisdom tooth removal is performed with patient comfort as the priority – with sedation available for patients who want additional support.

How we treat it: Dr. Z assesses your wisdom teeth with digital X-rays or CBCT imaging to determine their position, root depth, and relationship to surrounding nerves and teeth. Straightforward erupted wisdom teeth are removed in a routine extraction. Impacted teeth may require a more involved surgical approach. Sedation is available for all wisdom tooth procedures.
