Wisdom teeth removal at Core Dental Group Caroline Springs

Wisdom teeth are the most frequently removed teeth in dentistry, and for good reason. Sitting at the very back of the mouth, they are prone to impaction, infection, and decay in ways that other teeth simply aren't. Core Dental Group Caroline Springs handles the full process, from assessment through to extraction, and is the only suburban Core Dental Group location with on-site 3D CBCT imaging for cases that need a closer look.

About wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to come through, typically between ages 17 and 25. The problem is that most modern jaws don't have room for them. That's why so many wisdom teeth end up impacted, stuck beneath the gum, pressing against the tooth next to them, or coming through at an angle that makes cleaning almost impossible.

Reasons for wisdom tooth removal

At Core Dental Group Caroline Springs, removal is recommended when:

• A wisdom tooth is fully or partially impacted and won't erupt normally
• You've had repeated bouts of pericoronitis (a gum infection around a partially erupted tooth)
• The wisdom tooth or the second molar beside it has developed decay that's difficult to treat
• A cyst or lesion is forming around an unerupted tooth
• Wisdom teeth are pressing on neighbouring teeth
• Persistent pain, swelling, or bad breath is traced back to the wisdom teeth

Screening before age 25 is also worth doing even without symptoms. Wisdom tooth roots get longer and more anchored with age, which makes removal more involved later on.

3D imaging for precision diagnosis

Core Dental Group Caroline Springs is the only suburban Core Dental Group location with on-site 3D CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) imaging. When a wisdom tooth sits close to the inferior alveolar nerve, or the anatomy is otherwise complicated, this level of detail makes a real difference to how safely and accurately treatment can be planned.

What to expect

In-chair extraction: Straightforward and partially impacted wisdom teeth are removed under local anaesthetic. For patients who are anxious about the procedure, IV sedation and sleep dentistry are both available, so you can be fully relaxed or asleep throughout.

Hospital surgery: Deeply impacted teeth or cases with complex anatomy may be referred to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for removal under general anaesthetic in day surgery. Medicare rebates may apply. Your dentist at Core Dental Group Caroline Springs will walk you through whichever pathway suits your situation.

Recovery guide

After wisdom tooth removal at Core Dental Group Caroline Springs:

• Rest for the remainder of the day
• Don't smoke for at least 72 hours — smoking significantly raises the risk of dry socket
• Avoid straws and alcohol for 48 hours
• Stick to soft foods for the first few days
• Apply an ice pack to your jaw to keep swelling down
• Start gentle warm salt water rinses 24 hours after the procedure
• Take any prescribed medications as directed
• Call us straight away if severe pain develops 2–3 days after the extraction — this can be a sign of dry socket

Straightforward extractions usually take a few days to recover from. Complex surgical cases can take up to one to two weeks.

Post-extraction aftercare instructions

How you care for your mouth after an extraction has a direct effect on how well and how quickly you heal. Some swelling and discomfort are normal after the procedure. Following the instructions below carefully will help keep both to a minimum.

If you're having any difficulties, call Core Dental Group on 13 13 16.

Ice packs

Some patients find ice packs over the cheeks helpful in the first few hours after surgery. A bag of frozen peas wrapped in a cloth works just as well as a purpose-made ice pack. Apply for 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off during the first several hours.

Numbness

The anaesthetic will leave your lips, tongue, and cheeks numb for several hours after the procedure. Take care not to bite these areas while sensation hasn't fully returned.

Swelling

Swelling is a normal response to oral surgery and tends to reflect how involved the procedure was. It usually peaks 24 to 36 hours after surgery, then gradually settles. Most patients find it has reduced significantly after four to five days.

Bruising

Bruising may appear as the swelling goes down. This is very common after oral surgery and nothing to worry about.

Bleeding

If bleeding occurs, use the gauze provided, or a clean knotted handkerchief, to apply firm direct pressure to the extraction site for at least one hour. It's worth putting a towel over your pillow overnight. If bleeding is persistent or you're concerned, contact us.

Discomfort

Some discomfort after a tooth extraction is unavoidable. Take pain relief regularly, avoiding aspirin as it can increase bleeding, and ideally start before the anaesthetic wears off. Most patients are considerably more comfortable within two to three days.

Oral care

• Day 1: Don't rinse, spit, or use a straw on the day of the extraction. Any of these can dislodge the blood clot forming in the socket, which slows healing and can lead to dry socket — a painful condition that's worth avoiding.
• From day 2 onwards: Warm salt water rinses (half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water) every four hours help keep the socket clean and support healing.

Diet

Stick to soft foods initially. Swelling can also limit how far you can open your mouth for up to a week, though this improves steadily as healing progresses. Ease back into normal foods gradually.

Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 48 hours after the extraction, as both slow the healing process.

Infection

Infection after a routine extraction is uncommon. When it does occur, it usually shows up as increased swelling, discomfort, or discharge around three to four days after the procedure. If you were prescribed antibiotics, finish the full course even if you feel fine before it's done.

Stitches

Dissolvable stitches will fall out or dissolve on their own within about seven days. If non-dissolvable stitches were used, an appointment will be made to remove them.

Issues with healing

If your discomfort is getting worse in the three to four days after your extraction rather than improving, come in so we can check the healing site. Call Core Dental Group on 13 13 16.

Specialist care when you need it

For complex cases that need a specialist oral and maxillofacial surgeon, your Core Dental Group dentist can refer you to the Collins Street Specialist Centre, part of the Core Dental Group network, where more than 25 registered specialists across every dental discipline practise under one roof.
