Wisdom Teeth in Ealing
Wisdom-tooth pain doesn't have to last. Our Ealing team assess, relieve and — when needed — remove wisdom teeth that are causing pressure, infection or jaw pain.
Painful because the gum has no room.
Wisdom teeth get their name because they appear at the back of the mouth in late teens or twenties. Most of the time the jaw doesn't have enough space, so they erupt at an angle or only partially.
When wisdom teeth become impacted or stuck under the gum they can cause pain, swelling and infection. The good news: not every wisdom tooth needs to come out, and our wisdom teeth team in Ealing will only recommend removal when it's the right call.
