Your options for wisdom teeth removal in Mississauga

Posted By: Dr. Rina M. Kotecha | Published On: Jun 11, 2019 | Wisdom Teeth

Most people get four wisdom teeth. They are the “way back” third molars in the upper and lower arches that usually come in by the time you are 25. By that age you are presumably wiser than when your other permanent teeth erupted. Unfortunately, that wisdom doesn’t necessarily include what to do about third molars that cause problems. Dr. Rina Kotecha and the Dentistry on 10 team in Mississauga are eager to provide information on your options for removal of wisdom teeth.

Do nothing

Consciously doing nothing about a problem is the equivalent of choosing a course of action. It might be prudent in some of life’s situations, but it is not advisable in the case of wisdom teeth.

These molars are often impacted. Because they are located so far back in an already full arch, they lack the space needed to come in straight and strong. Impacted wisdom teeth can’t break through the jaw bone. This condition may cause mouth pain and headaches.

Wisdom teeth that do erupt may crowd healthy teeth. That crookedness flaws your smile and creates food traps that contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.

Visit an oral surgeon

Mississauga has many fine oral surgeons. This is a reasonable option if your dentist doesn’t handle extraction of wisdom teeth, and you don’t mind the expense and inconvenience of going to another doctor.

Seek treatment from the team you know and trust

The idea of surgery – any kind of surgery – can be unsettling. Patients typically understand the need for and accept the idea of wisdom teeth extraction more calmly when it is presented to them by someone they know and trust.

Not every dental practice chooses to perform extractions. Dr. Rina feels that it is important to offer this service to her patients so that they receive relaxed treatment in a familiar environment with friendly faces around them. Extraction of wisdom teeth requires pre-planning and precise technique. She teams up with trained and experienced associates to bring oral surgery to patients throughout the Mississauga area. Then Dr. Rina and her team provide their usual high level of compassionate aftercare.

Hi, my name is Naren. I have been coming to dentistry on 10 for at least five years, probably a lot longer than that. I first heard about Doctor Rena, through a friend of mine who was my roommate back in college and the, the, thing that attracted me to her right off the bat is she went to Harvard of course, you know Harvard is one of the top schools in the world, so you know studying at Harvard and Learning dentistry Harvard, I’ve never met anybody who went to Harvard, so that was the number one thing. But when I came here, it’s not the Harvard that I ended up staying here for. It’s because she’s a very caring person and she has a team that really is caring. So, for example, you know I, I, have some health conditions and you know taking care of my gums is really, really, important and I’m like not that good at taking care of myself. So you know she just, just, stuck with me, just kept at me and, you know, just taught me things and talk to me about things and you know. And when I did, you know, kind of mess up and you know, get gum disease again. You know she you know, stuck with me. So, like for me personally, I know people come for dentistry for lots of reasons, some people you know, care about their smile and things like that. For me personally, it’s the health because I have a history of health issues in my family and I know the importance of, you know, taking care of your gums and you overall mouth and health so I would strongly recommend Doctor Rena if you really care about your health. If you really want somebody who’s not just trying to, you know, give you things you don’t need, but really, who’s trying to focus on what’s good for you, helping you achieve your goals. She’s very caring, very, very patient, very, very, gentle and, and, she’s there for you. So, it’s almost like having a partner in health who’s working with you to make your life better. So, we all need it, and especially as we get older when we are in our 40s and 50s, we need to take care of our health and without doctor Rena I don’t think I would have the comes I have and I don’t think I would be working on my health. Thank you very much Doctor Rena and I would, absolutely without a hesitation, recommend anybody and my entire family comes here as well as my two kids and My wife. So, thank you for being an amazing dentist and thank you for caring about people who live in the neighbourhood and their health.
