Wisdom tooth pain or swelling?
A dentist can assess the wisdom tooth, check for infection or impaction and explain suitable next steps.
When should wisdom teeth be checked?
Wisdom teeth can sometimes cause pain or inflammation when they do not have enough space, are difficult to clean or become partly trapped under the gum.
Swelling or infection
Swollen gums, bad taste, pus, fever or facial swelling may indicate infection around a wisdom tooth and should be checked promptly.
Food trapping or cleaning difficulty
If food gets trapped around a partly erupted wisdom tooth, it can increase the risk of gum inflammation, decay and recurring discomfort.
Do all wisdom teeth need removal?
No. Not every wisdom tooth needs to be removed. Some wisdom teeth can be monitored if they are healthy, cleanable and not causing problems.
Your dentist will assess your symptoms, mouth opening, gum condition and may recommend an X-ray to understand the tooth position.
✓Assessment of wisdom tooth position and symptoms
✓X-rays may be recommended if clinically needed
✓Monitoring may be suitable for some wisdom teeth
✓Extraction is discussed only when clinically appropriate
When might extraction be discussed?
Wisdom tooth extraction may be discussed if the tooth is repeatedly painful, infected, hard to clean, damaging nearby teeth or unlikely to erupt into a healthy position.
If the case is complex, your dentist may recommend referral to an oral surgeon or specialist provider.
✓Recurring infection or swelling
✓Decay in the wisdom tooth or nearby tooth
✓Impaction or poor cleaning access
✓Referral may be advised for complex cases
