Wisdom teeth do not always cause problems, but pain, impaction, or limited space can make assessment important. Forest Hills Dental Centre provides wisdom teeth assessment and removal in Langley, using dental X-rays when needed to understand how the teeth are positioned.

What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the very back of the mouth. They usually develop later than the rest of your permanent teeth, and some people do not have enough room for them to come in normally.

A wisdom tooth may erupt fully, remain partly covered by gum tissue, or stay trapped below the gums or within the jaw. A tooth that cannot erupt normally is commonly described as impacted.

When Can Wisdom Teeth Become a Problem?

Wisdom teeth do not automatically need to be removed. We look at the position of the teeth, your symptoms, the surrounding tissues, and whether the teeth are creating oral health concerns.

Reasons to Have Wisdom Teeth Assessed Include:

  • Pain or tenderness near the back of the mouth
  • Swelling or irritation around a wisdom tooth
  • A tooth that is partly erupted or difficult to clean
  • An impacted wisdom tooth seen on dental X-rays
  • Repeated problems around the same wisdom tooth
  • Concerns about the position of developing wisdom teeth

An examination can help determine whether your symptoms are related to a wisdom tooth. We can use digital or panoramic X-rays when imaging is needed to see the position of teeth below the gums.

How We Assess Wisdom Teeth

Your dentist starts by examining the area and discussing any symptoms you have noticed. Dental X-rays can help us see the position of wisdom teeth that are partly or completely below the gums.

Forest Hills Dental Centre provides digital and panoramic X-rays. The type of imaging used depends on what your dentist needs to evaluate and your individual situation.

Do All Wisdom Teeth Need to Be Removed?

No. Some wisdom teeth erupt into a healthy position and can be maintained without treatment. Removal may be considered when a wisdom tooth is painful, impacted, difficult to keep clean, or contributing to other oral health concerns.

What to Expect From Wisdom Teeth Removal

The details of removal depend on the position and condition of the tooth. Before treatment, your dentist reviews the findings and explains what is involved in your case.

Forest Hills Dental Centre also offers laughing gas and oral sedation for appropriate patients who experience dental anxiety. The right option depends on the procedure and your individual health needs.
