Safe and Healthy Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars to emerge, typically between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people experience no issues with their wisdom teeth, many face complications such as pain, overcrowding, infection, and impaction.
At Sharing Smiles Dental Care, we offer safe and healthy wisdom tooth extraction services near Brampton and Mississauga to ensure a smooth, safe, and pain-free procedure.
Why Wisdom Tooth Extraction is Necessary
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed for various reasons, including:
Impaction: When wisdom teeth do not fully emerge, they may become trapped in the gums, leading to pain and infection.
Overcrowding: Additional molars can push other teeth out of alignment, affecting your bite and causing misalignment.
Infection & Gum Disease: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can create pockets where bacteria thrive, leading to infection and gum disease.
Tooth Decay: Because wisdom teeth are located at the back of the mouth, they are harder to clean, increasing the risk of cavities.
Cysts & Damage to Nearby Teeth: Cysts can develop around impacted teeth, leading to bone damage and affecting neighboring teeth

Our Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process
At Sharing Smiles Dental Care Brampton, we follow a structured approach to ensure a smooth and comfortable extraction process.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We begin with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth. Based on our findings, we will recommend the best course of action.
Step 2: Preparation for Extraction
Before the procedure, we will discuss anesthesia options, including local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, to ensure your comfort.
Step 3: The Extraction Procedure
Simple Extraction: If the wisdom tooth has fully erupted, it can be removed easily with dental forceps.
Surgical Extraction: For impacted teeth, a small incision is made in the gum, and the tooth may be sectioned into smaller parts for easier removal.
Step 4: Post-Extraction Care
After the extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize discomfort.
Recovery and Wisdom Tooth Extraction Aftercare
Most patients recover from wisdom tooth and molar extraction within a few days to a week.
Here’s how to ensure a smooth healing wisdom tooth extraction process:
Apply an ice pack to reduce swelling.
Take prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication as directed.
Avoid hard, spicy, and hot foods for the first few days.
Rinse gently with warm salt water after 24 hours to promote healing.
Avoid smoking and drinking through a straw to prevent dry sockets
