Wisdom teeth are the final molars to develop and may sometimes become impacted or difficult to remove because of their position, lack of space or relationship to surrounding structures. In some cases, impacted or problematic wisdom teeth may cause pain, infection, inflammation or damage to neighbouring teeth.

Dental extractions may also be required when a tooth is significantly damaged, difficult to restore or associated with another oral condition. Some extractions can be straightforward, while others require a surgical approach because of the position of the tooth or surrounding anatomy.

Before treatment, the tooth and surrounding structures are assessed and appropriate imaging may be recommended. The procedure, type of anaesthesia, expected recovery and potential risks are discussed before surgery.
