Tooth Removal & Wisdom Teeth in Panania
Receive clear advice about painful, damaged or impacted teeth, including whether removal is necessary and what to expect.
Treatment overview
When a tooth may need to be removed
Whenever practical, we consider options to preserve a tooth. Removal may be recommended when a tooth cannot be predictably restored, is causing repeated infection or pain, or when a wisdom tooth is creating problems.
Careful diagnosis
An examination and X-rays help identify the tooth, its position and the cause of symptoms.
Comfort-focused care
Local anaesthetic and step-by-step explanations help make treatment more manageable.
Clear aftercare
You receive instructions for healing, pain relief and when to contact the practice.

Planning and recovery
Understand the procedure and individual risks
The position of a tooth, its roots and nearby structures affect how straightforward removal may be. Some extractions need surgical assessment or specialist input. Your dentist will explain the recommended pathway rather than assuming every tooth can be removed in the same way.
Potential complications include infection, bleeding and delayed healing or dry socket; some wisdom teeth also have individual nerve or sinus risks. Tell your dentist about medicines and health conditions before treatment, and follow the aftercare plan.
Wisdom tooth questions
Wisdom tooth removal FAQs
Helpful answers before you contact our Panania team.
What are common signs of a wisdom tooth problem?
Pain, swelling, tenderness behind the back teeth, difficulty opening the mouth, food trapping and recurring gum infection can be signs that a wisdom tooth needs assessment.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
No. Wisdom teeth that are healthy, functional and easy to clean may simply be monitored. Removal is considered when there is pain, infection, damage or another clear clinical reason.
What should I expect after wisdom tooth removal?
Some swelling, tenderness and limited jaw opening are common during early healing. We provide tailored aftercare instructions and explain when to contact us if symptoms are not improving as expected.
When should I seek help during recovery?
Contact your dentist for severe or increasing pain, fever, bleeding that does not settle, or swelling that is worsening. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, or uncontrolled bleeding, requires immediate medical help: call 000 or go to an emergency department. Follow the individual aftercare instructions provided.
