Emergency Dental Root Canal Treatment Gum Disease Wisdom Teeth Crowns & BridgesAssessment for wisdom tooth pain, swelling, food trapping, infection and impacted teeth.
Wisdom teeth do not always require removal. Examination and imaging help determine whether monitoring, improved cleaning, in-clinic removal or specialist referral may be appropriate.
A $50 deposit may be required when booking. Treatment suitability, surgical complexity, risks, costs, recovery and referral needs vary between patients.
Healthy wisdom teeth that are fully erupted, easy to clean and not affecting nearby teeth may only need monitoring. Removal may be discussed when there is pain, recurrent infection, decay, damage, poor cleaning access or another identified risk.
Healthy, easy-to-clean wisdom teeth may only need monitoring.
Check tooth position, symptoms, gum health and nearby structures.
Monitoring, cleaning, removal or referral may be considered.
Understand the likely procedure, aftercare and warning signs.
The dentist checks eruption, gum access, symptoms, nearby teeth and whether imaging is required before recommending treatment.
Monitoring, cleaning support, removal or specialist referral can be discussed depending on the tooth position and complexity.
Expected swelling, discomfort, activity limits, cleaning and complication risks should be explained before treatment begins.
Describe whether it is constant, intermittent or worse when chewing.
Mention gum swelling, discharge, fever or difficulty opening.
Explain whether the back tooth is difficult to brush or floss.
Symptoms can settle temporarily even when the underlying issue remains. Recurrent pain, infection or cleaning difficulty should be assessed rather than managed repeatedly without a diagnosis.
Pain may feel like pressure, throbbing, tenderness or discomfort when chewing near the back molars.
A partly erupted tooth can be associated with swelling, tenderness, discharge, a bad taste or difficulty opening.
Limited access can allow food and plaque to collect around the wisdom tooth or the back of the neighbouring molar.
An angled wisdom tooth may contribute to decay, gum loss or pressure affecting the second molar.
Increasing pain, facial swelling, fever, discharge or difficulty opening can indicate a more active problem. Some symptoms require urgent medical care rather than a routine dental appointment.
Worsening pain, swelling or difficulty opening should be assessed promptly.
For increasing pain, swelling, discharge, fever or reduced jaw opening.
For breathing or swallowing difficulty, rapid facial swelling or heavy uncontrolled bleeding.
Increasing pain, gum swelling, discharge, fever or reduced jaw opening should be assessed promptly.
Facial swelling that is increasing or extending beyond the immediate gum area needs urgent attention.
Call 000 or seek urgent medical care for difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly increasing facial swelling, serious trauma or heavy uncontrolled bleeding.
The appointment is designed to confirm the source of symptoms, identify the tooth position and determine whether monitoring, removal or referral is the most appropriate pathway.
Check gums, tooth eruption, jaw opening and nearby teeth.
Assess roots, bone, the neighbouring molar and nearby structures.
Discuss monitoring, removal, referral, recovery and estimated fees.
Discuss pain, swelling, recurrent infections, cleaning difficulty, previous episodes and relevant medical information.
The dentist checks eruption, gum coverage, nearby teeth, jaw opening and signs of inflammation or decay.
X-rays may help assess tooth angle, root shape, bone, the neighbouring molar and important nearby structures.
Review monitoring, removal, referral, likely recovery, alternatives, risks and estimated fees.
Tooth position, root shape, nerve proximity, medical history, surgical access and patient preference all influence whether removal is completed at the clinic or referred.
A healthy, functional and cleanable tooth may only require periodic review rather than preventative removal.
Selected erupted or less complex teeth may be suitable for in-clinic removal after assessment and informed consent.
Deep impaction, nerve proximity, complex roots, medical factors or surgical complexity may make specialist care more appropriate.
Choose suitable foods and avoid strenuous activity for the advised period.
Avoid smoking, vaping, straws and vigorous rinsing during early healing.
Increasing pain, swelling, bleeding, fever or bad taste should be reviewed.
Recovery differs between simple and surgical removals. The instructions provided for your procedure take priority over general information.
Limit strenuous activity for the advised period and use cold packs or prescribed pain-management measures as directed.
Avoid smoking, vaping, straws and vigorous rinsing during early healing because these can disrupt the socket.
Use the food, rinsing and oral-hygiene instructions provided for the location and complexity of the extraction.
Contact the clinic for worsening pain, swelling, bleeding, fever, bad taste or recovery that is not progressing as expected.
Costs vary with the consultation, X-rays required, number of teeth, simple or surgical removal and whether specialist referral is recommended. A written estimate can be provided before treatment proceeds.

No. Healthy wisdom teeth that are fully erupted, functional, easy to clean and not causing disease or damage may be monitored.
An impacted wisdom tooth cannot fully erupt into a normal position. It may be partly covered by gum, blocked by bone or angled toward the neighbouring tooth.
Symptoms can include pain, pressure, gum swelling, a bad taste, food trapping, difficulty opening or tenderness when chewing. Some problems are found on examination or X-rays before symptoms begin.
Local anaesthetic is used for suitable in-clinic procedures. Pressure or movement may still be felt. Tenderness, swelling and discomfort after removal vary with procedure complexity and individual healing.
Recovery varies. Simple removals may settle over several days, while surgical removals can take longer. Your dentist will explain the expected recovery for the proposed procedure.
Referral may be appropriate for deep impaction, complex roots, close proximity to important structures, medical considerations or surgical complexity.
This information is general and does not replace professional dental advice. Wisdom tooth treatment suitability, risks, benefits, alternatives, fees, recovery and outcomes vary between patients.
