Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that typically emerge in your late teens or early twenties. For many people, these teeth can cause issues such as pain, infection, or misalignment of other teeth.
When this happens, wisdom tooth extraction may be necessary to prevent further complications. At Skye Dental in Brisbane, we offer expert wisdom tooth extraction services designed to ensure minimal discomfort and a smooth recovery.

Wisdom teeth often cause problems because there is not enough room in the mouth for them to grow in properly. They can become impacted, meaning they get stuck beneath the gum or grow at an angle, pushing against other teeth.
This can lead to pain, swelling, and infection. In some cases, the wisdom teeth may partially emerge, creating a flap where food and bacteria can get trapped, leading to further complications.
If you are experiencing wisdom tooth pain, it’s important to seek professional dental advice to prevent any long-term issues.
There are several signs that indicate you might need a wisdom tooth extraction:
Persistent Pain: Ongoing pain at the back of your mouth, especially around your wisdom teeth, is a common sign.
Swelling: Swollen gums or jaw near the affected tooth.
Gum Infection: Red, swollen, or bleeding gums around the wisdom tooth.
Jaw Stiffness: Difficulty opening your mouth fully or chewing comfortably.
Crowded Teeth: If your other teeth are shifting due to pressure from emerging wisdom teeth.
At Skye Dental, we begin with a thorough assessment of your wisdom teeth. Using advanced X-ray technology, we can determine whether extraction is necessary and plan the best approach for your specific situation. Wisdom tooth extractions vary depending on whether the tooth is fully erupted, partially erupted, or impacted.
Simple Extraction: If the tooth has fully emerged and can be easily accessed, a straightforward extraction is performed under local anaesthetic.
Surgical Extraction: For impacted or partially emerged wisdom teeth, a surgical extraction may be required. This involves a minor incision in the gum to remove the tooth, ensuring that the surrounding teeth and tissues are protected.
After your wisdom tooth extraction, following the correct aftercare instructions is essential for a smooth recovery. At Skye Dental, we provide personalised aftercare guidance to help manage any discomfort and ensure proper healing.
Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can help alleviate any post-procedure discomfort.
Swelling and Bleeding: Swelling is common in the first few days, and applying an ice pack can help reduce this. Minor bleeding can also occur but should subside within 24 hours.
Diet: Stick to soft foods such as soup, yoghurt, and smoothies for the first few days, avoiding anything too hot or spicy.
Most patients recover within a week, but our team is always available to address any concerns or complications that may arise during your recovery.
