Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to appear — often between the ages of 17 and 25. When they don’t erupt properly or become trapped beneath the gums, they can cause severe pain, swelling, and infection.
At Brisbane Emergency Dentist, we offer urgent and routine wisdom tooth extraction, using advanced equipment and gentle techniques to make your experience comfortable and stress-free.

You may need to have your wisdom teeth removed if you experience:
- Persistent pain or swelling at the back of your mouth
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums around emerging teeth
- Jaw stiffness or discomfort when chewing
- Infection or pus near partially erupted teeth
- Pressure on surrounding teeth or crowding
- Headaches or ear pain caused by impacted wisdom teeth
Early assessment and removal prevent long-term complications such as decay, cysts, and gum disease.
Simple Extraction
If the tooth has fully erupted and is visible above the gum line, a simple extraction can be performed quickly under local anaesthetic.Surgical Extraction
For impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth, a minor surgical procedure is required. Our dentist will make a small incision in the gum to access and safely remove the tooth. This process is painless and performed using local anaesthetic — sedation is available if needed.Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Here’s how the process works:
We take detailed X-rays to evaluate the tooth’s position and plan the procedure.
The area is completely numbed before extraction begins.
The dentist gently removes the tooth in one piece or in small sections if it’s impacted.
The site is disinfected and stitched to promote proper healing.
The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour, and you’ll receive full aftercare guidance before leaving.
Recovering from a wisdom tooth extraction is straightforward with proper care. We recommend:
- Keeping gentle pressure on the gauze pad to stop bleeding.
- Eating soft foods such as yoghurt, soup, or mashed potatoes
- Avoiding smoking, spitting, and drinking through straws for 24 hours.
- Taking prescribed medication as directed by your dentist.
- Rinsing with warm salt water after 24 hours to keep the area clean.
Healing generally takes a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the extraction.
Most wisdom tooth extractions heal smoothly, but complications can occur if not treated properly. These include:
- Dry Socket: when the blood clot dislodges too early, exposing the bone.
- Infection:caused by trapped food particles or bacteria.
- Swelling or Tenderness: usually mild and temporary.
