How do I know if my Wisdom Teeth need to be removed?
Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t currently causing pain or discomfort, it’s often best to screen for potential issues early.
During your consultation, an OPG (full mouth X-ray) and discussion with your clinician will help determine whether wisdom tooth removal is recommended. We’ll talk you through the benefits, risks, and timing of treatment, especially if:
-
the teeth are impacted
-
infection or re-infection is likely
-
there’s a risk of irreversible damage to neighbouring teeth
-
early removal can help prevent the need for more complex surgery later on

When Should Wisdom Teeth be removed?
It is well documented that removal of wisdom teeth in young adults (under the age of 25) is associated with less after-operation pain and swelling than in older adults. Therefore, if it is determined that your wisdom teeth are likely to cause problems, your dentist will usually recommend that you have them removed earlier rather than later.
How to prepare for Wisdom Tooth Removal?
The length of your procedure may vary depending on how many wisdom teeth you are having removed or how complicated the removal is. Before your wisdom teeth are extracted, an anaesthetic is administered. Therefore certain precautions are warranted.
Before you undergo your extraction procedure, your clinician will outline how to prepare. You will need to fast the night before the procedure, and you should not consume alcohol for 24 hours before receiving any anaesthetic.
You will also need to organise someone to accompany you to the procedure and take you back home afterwards, and to look after you for 24 hours if your procedure has been done under sedation or general anaesthetic. We also recommend you have someone take you home if you have the procedure in-chair with local anaesthetic, but this is your choice.
What’s the procedure for treatment?
The main consideration for treatment is who should perform the procedure: a general dentist or a registered specialist?
While our general dentists can perform wisdom tooth extraction, in more complex cases we always recommend that an oral & maxillofacial surgeon carry out the procedure. These specialists are registered in the field of surgery of the mouth and jaw. In Australia they are required to qualify for degrees in dentistry, medicine and oral surgery (bringing their average training after becoming a dentist to 10–12 years).
The key benefits of seeing a specialist are to reduce the risk of temporary conditions (excessive bleeding, severe swelling, and infection), permanent conditions (damage to adjacent teeth and nerves) and post-surgical complications.
For your absolute comfort, the procedure can be performed under general anaesthetic. Medicare rebates may apply with specialist treatment.
Wisdom Teeth Removal under Local Anaesthetic
Wisdom tooth removal under local anaesthetic is done in the dental chair and renders the area to be worked completely numb. You’ll still be awake and aware of everything happening, and you may still feel pressure applied to the area.
Wisdom Teeth Removal under General Anaesthetic
When having your wisdom teeth removed using general anaesthetic, the procedure will take place in a hospital (as day surgery) and be performed by an oral & maxillofacial surgeon. A specialist anaesthetist will administer the general anaesthetic and monitor you during surgery.
