Common Wisdom Tooth Problems
Wisdom teeth are the third set of molars at the back of your mouth, usually emerging between ages 17 to 25.
For many people, there isn’t enough space in the jaw for these teeth to come in properly, which can lead to several issues.
Common problems include:
- Impaction (tooth doesn’t fully emerge)
- Misalignment (tooth grows at an angle)
- Partial eruption (tooth only partially breaks through the gums)
- Food traps, which can lead to infection and decay
- Gum infection and cheek biting
- Destruction to nearby teeth (resorption)
- Cyst formation (in rare cases)
These issues can cause pain, swelling, infection, and tooth decay, so early evaluation and treatment are important.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
When they’re impacted, causing pain, infection, decay, or pushing on nearby teeth. Sometimes it’s worth removing them before problems start, which your dentist can advise on from your X-rays.
Is the surgery painful?
When they’re impacted, causing pain, infection, decay, or pushing on nearby teeth. Sometimes it’s worth removing them before problems start, which your dentist can advise on from your X-rays.
Medical leave duration?
Usually a few days, depending on whether it was a simple extraction or a more involved surgical removal.
Am I able to use Medisave?
Medisave applies to surgical removal, but not simple extractions. We can confirm which applies to you at consultation.
Can I remove my wisdom tooth on the same day if it’s painful?
Often, yes, if it’s straightforward. More complex or impacted cases usually need X-rays and planning first, so it’s worth calling ahead if you’re in pain.
Any risks & complications?
Most removals are uneventful, but there’s a small chance of infection, dry socket, or temporary numbness if the tooth sits close to a nerve.
Will the wisdom tooth grow back?
No. Once it’s out, it’s out, what sometimes gets mistaken for regrowth is usually a neighbouring tooth shifting or the gum healing over.
