Prevent Pain, Crowding & Oral Health Issues
Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars that typically emerge between ages 17 and 25. While some grow in normally, many become impacted, misaligned, or cause pain and crowding. At Red Rock Dental, we offer gentle, expert extractions to relieve discomfort and protect your smile.
When Is a Wisdom Tooth Extraction Necessary?
​
Wisdom teeth often don’t have enough room to emerge properly, leading to impaction, crowding, or infection.
​
Extraction may be recommended if you experience:
-
Pain, swelling, or tenderness in the back of your mouth
-
Crowding or shifting teeth due to lack of space
-
Infection or gum inflammation around partially erupted wisdom teeth
-
Difficulty cleaning wisdom teeth, increasing the risk of decay or gum disease
Removing wisdom teeth prevents long-term complications and ensures better oral health.
The Benefits of Wisdom Tooth Extractions
IMMEDIATE PAIN RELIEF & LONG-TERM COMFORT
Eliminates discomfort caused by impacted or misaligned teeth.
PREVENTS DAMAGE TO OTHER TEETH
Stops wisdom teeth from pushing against and shifting neighboring teeth.
REDUCES RISK OF ORAL DISEASE
Releasing restrictive tissues can also help older children enjoy their favorite foods with ease.​
The Wisdom Tooth Extraction Process
CONSULTATION & EXAMINATION
The first step in the wisdom tooth extraction process is a comprehensive consultation and examination. Our Medicine Hat dentists will take X-rays of your mouth to determine the position of your wisdom teeth and assess whether they need to be removed.
SEDATION & EXTRACTION
On the day of the procedure, you will be given oral conscious or nitrous sedation to ensure your comfort. Our dentists will then carefully extract the problematic wisdom teeth, using precise techniques to minimize discomfort and speed up recovery time.
AFTERCARE & RECOVERY
After the extraction, our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. This may include advice on managing discomfort, maintaining oral hygiene, and when to resume normal activities. Our team will be available to answer any questions and address any concerns you may have during your recovery.
