Wisdom Teeth Causing You Trouble? Get Help from Experts.

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to come in, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. For many people, they cause more harm than good.

They might come in crooked, get stuck (impacted), or cause pressure and pain as they crowd other teeth. If you’re dealing with ongoing jaw or facial pain or swelling, infection, or inflamed gums, Plum Dental offers safe, simple wisdom tooth extraction in Mississauga, with your comfort and care at the center of everything we do. 

Whether you’re planning or need emergency wisdom tooth removal in Mississauga, we’re here to guide you through it.

When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Necessary?

Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed, but most people do. If these third molars are misaligned, impacted, or hard to clean, they can lead to:

  • Ongoing jaw or facial pain
  • Swelling, infection, or inflamed gums
  • Pressure on nearby teeth
  • Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth
  • Headaches or sinus pressure
  • Bad breath or an unpleasant taste
  • Tooth decay or gum disease in hard-to-reach areas

In most cases, removing them early—before they cause bigger problems—is safer and simpler, especially for patients under 25. Healing is faster, the bone is softer, and the roots aren’t fully formed yet.

If you’re wondering when wisdom teeth removal is necessary, it’s usually best not to wait until pain or damage sets in.

What Wisdom Teeth Removal Looks Like: Our Process

At Plum Dental, wisdom teeth removal is done with experience, precision, and patient comfort in mind. Here’s what it looks like:

  1. Initial Consultation & Imaging
    We take digital X-rays to examine your wisdom teeth and surrounding structures.
  2. Sedation Options & Preparation
    We explain your anesthesia choices—local anesthesia, IV sedation, or a combination. Most patients choose sedation for a calm, pain-free experience.
  3. Tooth Removal
    Your dentist or oral surgeon will:
    • Numb the area
    • Gently open the gum tissue (if needed)
    • Remove any bone blocking access
    • Extract the tooth (whole or in sections)
    • Clean and stitch the area (if necessary)
    • Place gauze for bleeding control
  4. Post-Op Care and Guidance
    You’ll go home with instructions for healing, eating, cleaning, and managing any discomfort.

And if you’re nervous? That’s okay. A lot of patients are. We’ll walk you through every step and make sure you feel safe and supported from the moment you arrive.

How Long Wisdom Teeth Removal Recovery Takes

Most people feel noticeably better within 3 to 5 days. Here’s what to expect and how to heal smoothly:

First 24 Hours

  • Bite down gently on gauze to control bleeding
  • Use an ice pack in 20-minute intervals to reduce swelling
  • Rest—don’t rush into activity

Next Few Days

  • Take prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief as instructed
  • Rinse gently with warm salt water (after 24 hours)
  • Eat soft foods: yogurt, smoothies (no straw), mashed potatoes, eggs, pasta
  • Avoid smoking, alcohol, and sucking motions (no straws or vaping)
  • Brush gently, especially near the extraction site

What to Watch For

  • Avoid disturbing the blood clot—this prevents dry socket, a painful post-op condition
  • Watch for signs of trouble: persistent pain, foul taste, swelling after day 3, or numbness
  • Contact us if anything feels off

Healing times vary, but with the right care, most recoveries are straightforward.
