Patients in Mississauga ON who are experiencing issues with their wisdom tooth or teeth are encouraged to speak to an oral surgeon about extractions. Wisdom tooth extractions are a relatively common procedure provided by Drs. Navin and Nakul Ratra of R Dentists. Our father and son team provide professional solutions for patients, including removal of teeth when pain and problems exist.

What are the wisdom teeth?

The wisdom teeth are also known as the third molars. These teeth are notorious for becoming problematic. They are the last to come through the gum line and commonly become impacted. When they aren’t, they come through the gum line and can be difficult to keep clean, resulting in the development of cavities or periodontal disease. Some patients have their wisdom teeth removed due to pain from impaction, while others have them removed for health concerns as a preventative.

What types of wisdom teeth extractions are available?

Drs. Navin and Nakul Ratra offers two types of extraction, including:

• Simple
• Surgical

Simple extraction is the removal of a tooth that has already come through the gum line. This includes wisdom teeth that have come up and are visible. A simple extraction requires the dentist to essentially

“wiggle” the tooth with a special instrument out of the bone, and only takes a few minutes. Surgical extraction requires the dentist to cut into the gums to remove the tooth. This is done for impacted teeth. Both procedures are performed with proper anesthetics and sedation.
