If you’re dealing with jaw pain, swelling, or an impacted wisdom tooth, you’re not alone. Many people between the ages of 17 and 30 need to have their wisdom teeth removed. At Polaris Dental in Brampton, we understand that dental extractions can feel intimidating. That’s why we’ve created a stress-free, supportive process to keep you informed, comfortable, and in control every step of the way.
🦷 Why Wisdom Teeth Need Removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often don’t have enough room to erupt properly. This can lead to:
-
Impaction (stuck under the gums)
-
Crowding of other teeth
-
Repeated infections or gum inflammation
-
Decay in neighboring teeth
If your dentist sees warning signs during an exam or X-ray, they may recommend early removal to prevent pain or damage.
🏥 What to Expect Before the Procedure
At Polaris Dental, every extraction starts with a consultation. We’ll take digital X-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth and discuss:
-
Whether the extraction will be simple or surgical
-
Sedation options (local anesthesia vs. conscious sedation)
-
Risks, costs, and recovery time
-
Insurance or CDCP/IFHP coverage eligibility
Our team will answer all your questions and ensure you feel confident moving forward.
✂️ During the Extraction Procedure
On the day of your procedure:
-
We apply local anesthesia to fully numb the area
-
For surgical cases, we make a small incision and remove the tooth in sections if needed
-
The entire process typically takes 20 to 40 minutes per tooth
-
We use gentle techniques to minimize trauma and support faster healing
If you’ve chosen sedation, we’ll monitor you throughout to ensure a safe and calm experience.
💡 Aftercare and Recovery
Following your extraction:
-
You’ll receive detailed written instructions and gauze to control bleeding
-
Pain is usually manageable with over-the-counter medication or prescribed painkillers
-
Most patients return to normal activity within 2–3 days
-
Avoid hard foods, drinking through straws, or smoking during recovery
-
We schedule a follow-up check to ensure proper healing
Watch out for signs like dry socket or persistent swelling—though rare, we’re here if you need follow-up care.
💬 Frequently Asked Questions
Is it painful?
With proper anesthesia, most patients feel pressure but no pain. Discomfort is typically mild afterward and well managed with medication.
Will insurance cover it?
Yes—many private plans, CDCP, and refugee insurance (IFHP) offer partial or full coverage. Our staff will verify your benefits in advance.
Do I need all four teeth out?
Not always. Some patients only need one or two removed. Your dentist will explain what’s necessary for your situation.
