Question 2

Does wisdom tooth removal hurt?

Accepted Answer

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic so you should feel no pain during the extraction. Sedation is also available for anxious patients. Some soreness in the days after is normal and managed with over-the-counter painkillers.

Question 3

What is a coronectomy and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A coronectomy is the intentional removal of just the crown of a wisdom tooth, leaving the roots in place when they lie too close to the inferior alveolar nerve. It reduces the risk of nerve damage. Dr Ismail will advise whether this is appropriate after reviewing your X-rays.

Question 4

Can I have sedation if I am nervous about oral surgery?

Yes. HI Oral Surgery offers both intravenous (IV) sedation and inhalation sedation for anxious patients. Sedation allows you to remain comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure.
