Wisdom Teeth: When They Cause More Harm Than Good

At Braeside Dental Centre in SW Calgary, our experienced dental team specializes in gentle and efficient wisdom tooth extractions, helping you avoid pain, complications, and future oral health issues.

Why Wisdom Teeth Need to Go
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: When wisdom teeth are trapped beneath the gum line or only partially erupt, they can become impacted. This can cause pain, swelling, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
- Overcrowding: If your jaw doesn't have enough space for wisdom teeth, they can push against your other teeth, leading to crowding and misalignment.
- Cysts and Tumors: In rare cases, impacted wisdom teeth can develop cysts or tumors that can damage your jawbone and surrounding teeth.
- Difficulty Cleaning: Partially erupted wisdom teeth can be challenging to clean properly, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

- Consultation & X-rays
- Anesthesia

Patient Testimonials
Words cannot describe the positive experience I had with Braeside Dental! I had a big dental project for Dr Goel and Jonathan and their kindness and thoughtfulness during the lengthy process was deeply appreciated. Dr Goel showed such care every step of the way, ensuring they did what was best for my dental situation. Jonathan presented such care even with the little things like using the suction often to prevent my sensitivity to gagging. A huge project that was done extremely well. I am truly happy with my results! Thank you everyone at Braeside Dental.

I found Braeside Dental after a bad experience with a previous dental assistant which left me not taking the best care of my teeth. Everyone I have dealt with at this clinic have been so kind, caring, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I feel heard when I have expressed my fears and the the way I prefer to have things done (water cleaning vs using just the tools). I recommend Braeside Dental to anyone but especially those who have had a bad experience previously.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I have my wisdom teeth removed?
The ideal time for removal is typically in the late teens or early twenties when the roots are not fully developed. However, extraction may be recommended at any age if your wisdom teeth are causing problems.
Will I be put to sleep for the procedure?
We offer various sedation options, including local anesthesia, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. We’ll discuss the best option for you based on your individual needs and preferences.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients recover within a few days, but complete healing may take a week or two. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
