What Are Wisdom Teeth and Why Might They Need Removal?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to erupt, typically emerging in the late teens or early twenties. Due to lack of space in the modern jaw, they often don’t come in properly. This can lead to several issues necessitating their removal:
- Impaction: Wisdom teeth may become trapped (impacted) beneath the gum line or only partially erupt because there isn’t enough room. Impacted teeth can damage adjacent molars, cause cysts, or lead to infection.
- Crowding: Emerging wisdom teeth can push other teeth out of alignment, potentially undoing previous orthodontic work or causing new crowding issues.
- Pain and Discomfort: Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause significant jaw pain, swelling, and discomfort.
- Infection (Pericoronitis): Partially erupted wisdom teeth create flaps of gum tissue where bacteria can easily get trapped, leading to painful infections.
- Difficulty Cleaning: Their position far back in the mouth makes wisdom teeth hard to clean effectively, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease for both the wisdom teeth and nearby molars.
Dr. Ravanbakhsh will assess your wisdom teeth using examination and X-rays to determine if removal is the best course of action for your long-term oral health.
Signs You May Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed
While not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, watch for these common signs that may indicate a problem:
- Pain or stiffness in the jaw near the back molars
- Swelling or tenderness of the gums around the back teeth
- Difficulty opening your mouth fully
- Bad breath or an unpleasant taste originating from the back of the mouth
- Visible signs of infection or cysts on X-rays
- Damage to adjacent teeth
- Crowding of front teeth
Even without symptoms, impacted wisdom teeth can cause issues later. Regular dental check-ups at our SE Calgary office allow for early detection.
The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process at Calgary Dental Studio
We strive to make the wisdom tooth extraction process as smooth and comfortable as possible:
- Consultation & X-rays: Dr. Ravanbakhsh will examine your mouth and take necessary X-rays (potentially including panoramic or 3D scans) to assess the position, development, and condition of your wisdom teeth and surrounding structures.
- Treatment Planning: We’ll discuss the findings, the reasons for removal (if recommended), the extraction procedure itself, and sedation options available to ensure your comfort.
- The Extraction Procedure: The procedure is performed under appropriate anesthesia (local anesthesia is standard, sedation options are available). Dr. Ravanbakhsh will gently remove the wisdom tooth/teeth. This may involve making a small incision in the gum tissue and potentially removing some bone or sectioning the tooth for easier removal, especially if impacted.
- Closure: Once the teeth are removed, the sites may be closed with stitches (often dissolvable). Gauze will be placed to manage initial bleeding.
- Recovery Instructions: We provide detailed post-operative instructions covering pain management, swelling control, diet, oral hygiene, and activity restrictions to ensure smooth healing.
Recovery and Aftercare Following Wisdom Teeth Removal
Proper aftercare is crucial for comfortable healing and preventing complications like dry socket:
- Bleeding: Bite gently on gauze pads as directed to control initial bleeding.
- Swelling: Apply ice packs to the outside of your cheeks intermittently for the first 24-48 hours.
- Pain Management: Take prescribed or recommended pain medication as directed.
- Diet: Stick to soft foods initially (soup, yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes) and gradually reintroduce firmer foods as comfort allows. Avoid straws, hard, crunchy, or very hot foods for several days.
- Oral Hygiene: Keep your mouth clean. Rinse gently with warm salt water starting 24 hours after surgery. Resume gentle brushing, avoiding the extraction sites initially.
- Rest: Plan for reduced activity for the first day or two. Avoid strenuous exercise for several days.
- Follow-up: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments.
We provide comprehensive written instructions and are available to answer questions during your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Wisdom Teeth Removal Calgary
⬥ Does wisdom teeth removal hurt?
The procedure itself is performed under anesthesia, so you should not feel pain. Post-operative discomfort is expected but typically well-managed with pain medication and proper aftercare.
⬥ How long is the recovery after wisdom teeth removal?
Initial recovery usually takes a few days to a week, with swelling peaking around day 2-3. Most people can resume normal activities within a few days, but full healing of the sockets takes several weeks to months.

Dry socket occurs when the blood clot protecting the extraction site dislodges prematurely, exposing bone and nerves. It causes significant pain. Following aftercare instructions carefully minimizes this risk.
⬥ Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not necessarily. If wisdom teeth erupt fully, are properly aligned, healthy, and easy to clean, they may not require removal. However, they often cause problems due to lack of space. Dr. Ravanbakhsh will evaluate your specific situation.
⬥ How much does wisdom teeth removal cost in Calgary?
The cost depends on factors like the number of teeth being removed and whether they are impacted (requiring more complex surgery). We provide a detailed estimate during your consultation and discuss insurance coverage and payment options.
