Wisdom teeth, officially referred to as third molars, are usually the last teeth to develop. They are located in the very back of your mouth, next to your second molars and near the entrance to your throat. Third molars are usually completely developed between the ages of 15 and 18.
Wisdom teeth commonly do not have enough room to properly erupt into our mouth. This lack of space can result in a number of harmful effects on your overall dental health. When a tooth cannot erupt into proper alignment, we call it impacted, which simply means “stuck” in an improper position. Dr. Afshin Riazi- your Markham dentist – has extensive experience in the extraction of wisdom teeth. There are different degrees of tooth impaction:
Wisdom teeth extraction is one of the most common types of oral surgery in Markham. Though these third molars are a natural part of our development, they often cause problems due to lack of space or poor alignment. At Greensborough Dental, we provide expert care for patients experiencing pain, swelling, or infections due to impacted wisdom teeth.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed, but when complications arise, timely intervention is key.
Common Symptoms of Impacted Wisdom Teeth:
Jaw stiffness or difficulty opening your mouth
Swelling around the gums or jaw
Bad breath or unpleasant taste in your mouth
Headaches and earaches
Discomfort while chewing
If you experience these symptoms, visiting an emergency dentist in Markham promptly can help prevent serious infections or abscesses.
There are different levels of impaction, each requiring a unique surgical approach. Soft tissue, partial bony, and complete bony impactions all have their own risks. Complex cases may require the attention of an experienced oral surgeon in Toronto to safely extract the tooth.

At Greensborough Dental, we understand that dental anxiety is real. That's why we offer several forms of sedation including IV sedation, nitrous oxide, and oral sedation.
If you're nervous about surgery, consider visiting our IV sedation dental office in Toronto to learn more about relaxing treatment options designed for your comfort.
The procedure begins with a thorough exam, including digital x-rays, to assess the position of the teeth. Local anesthesia or sedation is administered for comfort. The tooth is carefully removed using specialized tools.
If the extraction site requires extra care, especially in younger patients, we may coordinate with a skilled children’s dentist in Markham to ensure gentle, safe care for teens.
Proper recovery after wisdom tooth extraction is essential for avoiding complications like dry socket or infection.
Use cold compresses for swelling
Avoid vigorous rinsing or spitting for 24 hours
Eat soft foods and avoid straws
Take all prescribed medications
Patients recovering from procedures involving bone may also receive advice similar to dental bone graft aftercare in Toronto.
Most people return to daily activities the day after surgery. Swelling typically peaks within 48–72 hours and then improves. Full healing takes around 1–2 weeks, depending on the complexity of the extraction.
In cases involving severe impaction, healing may be similar to procedures like periodontal surgery in Markham, which involve deeper tissue work.
Infections caused by impacted teeth can spread quickly. If you’re in severe pain, have facial swelling, or experience fever, you may need emergency wisdom teeth removal in Toronto under urgent care. Timely treatment can prevent more serious complications.
Removing problematic wisdom teeth helps:
Prevent future dental crowding
Reduce risk of infection and inflammation
Improve chewing and oral hygiene
Prepare the mouth for other treatments like orthodontics in Markham

Why Should I Have My Wisdom Teeth Removed?
Soft Tissue Impactions – There is adequate jaw bone to allow the wisdom tooth to erupt, but not enough room to allow the gum tissue to be properly positioned and attached to the tooth. This causes tremendous problems because it is not possible to keep the area clean. Infection commonly occurs, resulting in swelling and pain.
Partial Bony Impactions – There is enough space to allow the wisdom tooth to partially erupt, but it cannot function in the chewing process. The tooth remains partially covered by bone and soft tissue. Once again, keeping the area clean is impossible and problems commonly develop.
Complete Bony Impactions – There is no space for the tooth to erupt. The tooth is completely covered by bone, or if it is partially exposed through the bone, it requires complex removal techniques.
At Greensborough Dental in Markham, we offer our patients sedation dentistry to relax them and to alleviate their fear. Wisdom tooth extraction is a common procedure and you can get back to your normal life duties the following day. Dr. Riazi will give you some dietary instructions for the following days to ensure the area doesn’t get infected and no bleeding occurs.
