Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually appear between ages 17 and 25. While some people experience no issues, many develop impacted wisdom teeth—when the teeth don’t fully emerge or grow at the wrong angle. Left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and damage to nearby teeth.
At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we provide safe, comfortable wisdom tooth extractions to protect your smile and oral health.
What Are Impacted Wisdom Teeth?
An impacted wisdom tooth is one that doesn’t have enough space to erupt properly. This can cause it to:
Grow at an angle toward another tooth
Stay trapped beneath the gums (partially or fully impacted)
Push against the jawbone or other teeth
Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Some impacted teeth may not show immediate symptoms, but common warning signs include:
Pain or swelling in the back of the mouth
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
Jaw stiffness or difficulty opening your mouth
Headaches or ear pain
Bad breath or an unpleasant taste in the mouth
Risks of Ignoring Impacted Wisdom Teeth
If left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can lead to:
Gum infection (pericoronitis)
Tooth decay in surrounding teeth
Crowding or misalignment
Cysts or damage to the jawbone
Chronic pain and discomfort
