Wisdom Teeth Removal Mississauga
Wisdom teeth – also called the third set of molars – are the last set of teeth we expect to grow in our lives.
For some people, they grow and are properly aligned and function just as any other teeth. But for the majority of us humans, our jaw sizes are too small and the wisdom teeth become misaligned and even impacted and need to be pulled out.
This is very common and routine procedure that millions of people have. At Dr. Bobby Brown and Associates, we are here to help you through this process.
Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Impacted wisdom teeth might not immediately present symptoms. Regular dental x-rays will reveal how they move and if they are impacting adjacent teeth. However, if you experience any of the following symptoms, it might be time to look at having them extracted:
- You are experiencing tooth decay.
- Your gums are red or bleeding in the area, possibly indicating infection.
- You are experiencing pain or swelling in your mouth such as your gums and jaw.
The Wisdom Tooth Removal Process
There are three simple steps involved in this routine procedure. Remember, practically everyone goes through it around the same time of their life.
Examining Your Teeth
As you grow into your late teens and early twenties, we are always examining the state of your wisdom teeth. At some point, they are deemed to be too disruptive to your oral health and they will need to be extracted.
The Removal Appointment
At your initial exam, we will go over this process with you. Then our team will prepare you with what to expect and how to prepare.
Based on your level of comfort, we will issue laughing gas or oral sedation. Once you are comfortable, we use minimally invasive, painless techniques to remove teeth as quickly but carefully as possible to ensure a healthy recovery.
Aftercare
After they are removed, it’s important that a friend or family member bring you home and to watch over you will you recover. You will be given a guide on what to do, eat and how to care for your healing gums. We will follow up with you but if you need help, we are only a phone call away.
Cost Of The Tooth Extraction
Some people fear that getting their wisdom teeth extracted will cost a lot.
While there’s no set rule for this, the typical cost of removing one wisdom tooth is between $130 to $940 on average. The reason the price can vary so much is due to how complex the case is.
Typically, the cost depends on how many teeth we will be removing, the position of the wisdom teeth in the jaw, infection level and the level of sedation used.
If you need to remove all four wisdom teeth, it can cost you around $520 to $3,800.
At Bobby Brown and Associates, we are committed to ensuring your health and care while relieving you of pain and discomfort.
We offer flexible payment plans depending on your financial needs.

Wisdom Teeth Frequently Asked Questions
When Do I Get Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth usually come in when you are in your late teens such as 17 to early adulthood around 25 – hence the name.
Curiously, some people never get wisdom teeth and some might only get one or two.
However most people who have wisdom teeth, around 85%, experience symptoms and need them extracted.
How Do I Know if I have Wisdom Teeth?
The good news is that the knowlege of whether you have wisdom teeth or not won’t sneak up on you. Over the course of your early life, if you regularly get dental exams at Dr. Bobby Brown and Associates, we will be able to see if you have them from the x-rays. From there, we can monitor them to see if they are impacted and when the wisdom teeth would need to be extracted.
Do I Have to Remove My Wisdom Teeth?
We would only remove them if exams and x-rays determine that the way they are growing would be detrimental to your health and your other teeth. We wouldn’t want to risk a tooth infection or cavities or pain if it can be prevented with a short painless procedure.
How Long Does it Take to Recover From Wisdom Teeth Removal?
We recommend rest for 3 or 4 days and have a family member or friend help you during this time. Full recovery could take up to 2 weeks. However, the process is sped up if you rest, don’t poke at the area of your gums, over exert yourself and follow the general aftercare guidelines.
