How Our Dentists Determine If You Need Wisdom Teeth Removal
Dental Exams
It's possible that one of our dentists may notice an emerging tooth or teeth during your routine examine. If that's the case, Dr. Charles or Patrick Casey will likely talk to you about making a wisdom tooth appointment.
X-ray Results
If your teeth have not yet emerged from your gums, our Montreal dentists can examine your jaw using X-rays. While you might not need immediate treatment, this procedure can help you plan for the future.
Age
Usually, patients will noticed their wisdom teeth emerging during their late teens to early twenties. If you are of that age bracket, you may want to consult your dentist about your tooth care possibilities.
Symptoms
From sinus issues to inflamed gums, your teeth may already be telling you that they need to be removed. If you or your dentist notice any of these tooth symptoms, it's likely time to schedule your wisdom tooth treatment.
What if you could spare yourself some of the pain and stress of emerging wisdom teeth?

Best dentist I've ever been to easy. I'm an extremely rough patient who is petrified of needles and has panic attacks. Dr. Casey AND HIS STAFF (can't stress this enough, many reviews speak of Dr. Casey but his staff is equally unbelievable and exceptional) have never judged me and have always been nothing but understanding.If you want the highest level of care possible, this is the place to go.

Positive experience, warmly greeted. I am beyond thrilled with the experience(s) so far. This practice has dealt with my lifelong issues of a paralysing phobia of dentists and begun rectifying the problems this past week. I have many medical issues that make a trip to the dentist an ordeal, yet Dr. Casey took me on without hesitation. Other dentists were leary of my medical issues and have put me off for years. If you have serious issues and have put them off, here is your solution.

To induce relaxation without being unconscious, patients take a sedative pill approximately one or two hours before their dental appointment.
Sedative medications are delivered directly to the bloodstream, inducing deep relaxation. Dosages can be adjusted throughout the treatment.
What to Expect during Treatment
Day of Procedure
Anesthesia
Your dentist administers local anesthesia to numb the teeth and gums. If you have chosen a sedation method, it is administered during this time.
Incisions
Your dentist creates a small incision in the gums near the affected tooth, acting as an access point.
Removal
Once the tooth is accessed, your dentist carefully removes it. In some cases, the tooth is divided into separate parts for easier extraction.
Sutures
After the molar has been removed, your dentist closes the incision with surgical sutures. These will typically dissolve within a few days.
Gauze
Once the procedure is complete, a small piece of gauze is placed over the surgical site to slow bleeding.
Recovery
Healing from wisdom teeth removal typically takes around two weeks. Most patients can return to non-strenuous activities after two or three days.
After your wisdom tooth procedure, it will take about two weeks for you to heal completely...
What to Expect during Recovery
Our Montreal staff will provide you with a detailed list of instructions to follow after surgery. To ensure a comfortable, successful recovery, these guidelines must be followed precisely:
Medication
It is normal to experience some pain and discomfort after surgery. Wisdom tooth pain can be managed with ibuprofen, naproxen, or other over-the-counter pain relievers.
Blood Clots
Blood clots will form in the surgical site. It is crucial not to use a straw or make a sucking motion with your mouth, as this could dislodge the blood clot and cause a painful condition called dry socket.
Swelling
To reduce inflammation and swelling, patients can apply a cold compress to the jaw area. This should be done in 20-minute increments for the first 24 hours after surgery.
Activity
During the first few days of recovery, it is important to avoid strenuous activity. An elevation in heart rate can increase the risk of post-operative bleeding and swelling.
Food
Patients should eat a soft-food diet such as yogurt, pudding, applesauce, pasta, eggs, or smoothies. After a few days, you may incorporate more solid foods at your discretion.
