Dr. George Bai and his dental team are happy to provide simple and effective wisdom teeth removal in Hamilton and to patients from the surrounding communities. Your wisdom teeth are the third and final molars, located at the very back of the jaw. Wisdom teeth can cause crowding, infection or even decay if your mouth doesn’t have room for them. Having them removed may save you from pain and further complications. Having your wisdom teeth removed is a very common procedure, often seen as an adolescent rite of passage. While most often occurring between the ages of 15-25, it is possible for problems with your wisdom teeth to occur at any age, so it is important to receive a checkup from a qualified dentist.
If you are experiencing the following symptoms, you may be suffering from impacted wisdom teeth and should consult a dentist right away:
- Pain or stiffness near the molars
- Swelling of the gums
- Visible tooth decay
- Signs of infection, including red gums and puss
- Ear Ache
- Headache
- Jaw Pain
- Limited opening of jaw
