Wisdom Teeth Extraction Calgary
Do I need my wisdom teeth removed?
About Wisdom Teeth Removal:
Why should you take out your Wisdom teeth?
What are some problems that can occur when you don’t get your wisdom teeth removed?
When there’s not enough room for the wisdom teeth to grow, it results in impacted wisdom teeth. These impacted wisdom teeth may cause:
- Pain
- Food and debris to get trapped
- Infection
- Tooth decay
- Damage to the surrounding tooth
What's the procedure?
Through X-rays and a clinical exam, a dentist can identify which wisdom tooth needs to be removed. At times, a person may require all of the wisdom teeth to be removed. At Expressions Dental™, wisdom teeth removal can be done under local anesthetic, nitrous sedation or IV sedation. In certain cases, you may be referred to an oral surgeon.

What's New in Wisdom Teeth Removal
Research published in the *Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery* has shown that using piezoelectric surgery tools — which use ultrasonic vibrations to cut bone — during wisdom tooth removal can reduce post-operative swelling and nerve disturbance compared to traditional rotary drills. This technique is especially beneficial when removing lower wisdom teeth that sit close to the inferior alveolar nerve. Patients treated with piezoelectric instruments have reported less discomfort in the days following surgery.
A clinical review in the *British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery* confirmed that patients who received detailed pre-operative instructions and followed structured recovery protocols — including cold compress schedules and guided dietary changes — experienced measurably faster healing after wisdom tooth removal. The review also noted that the first 48 to 72 hours after extraction are the most critical window for managing swelling and protecting the healing blood clot. Patients who avoided smoking and rinsing too aggressively during this period had significantly lower rates of dry socket.
