Wisdom tooth removal in Sydney will be required, if any one of your wisdom teeth does not come in at all due to being impacted. The main things you need to consider while removing your wisdom teeth are listed below.

Necessity
Wisdom teeth and wisdom teeth removal don’t have to coincide always. Just because your third molars are coming in, it doesn’t mean they have to come out or removed immediately. If you have enough room for two wisdom teeth or even for all the four that are coming in, you don’t have to pull them out. Your dentist will recommend tooth extraction if they are going to cause overcrowding or if they are growing in at an awkward angle. Before you let your dentist to schedule for wisdom teeth removal, be sure that they actually need to come out.

The Complexity of Your Case
Sometimes wisdom tooth extraction is necessary for the good oral health of any individual. While the process of removing a wisdom tooth is the same, the complexity of the procedure may differ from one patient to another. The factors that affect the complexity of the wisdom teeth removal in Sydney are

• The alignment of the tooth with respect to the gums
• The depth of your wisdom tooth
• Anatomical variations of the roots
• The extraction process

Costs
Wisdom teeth removal may not be a simple procedure always, which means the costs may be considerably higher. That is why, it’s important to look at the cost of wisdom teeth removal.

Surgery
You may need to undergo surgery for removing your wisdom teeth and it depends on how impacted your teeth are. The moment you find your wisdom teeth are problematic, it is a must to make an appointment with your dentist. If you wait longer, you are inviting the risk of undergoing surgery, since the problem will get worse with time. Every dentist won’t be expertise in performing surgery. They may send you to an oral surgeon to carry out your wisdom teeth extraction surgery, which means you have to meet someone new to perform your surgery.

Most people remove their wisdom teeth at the early stage, because they tend to cause expensive and long-lasting dental problems if left unattended. The most common reason for infection is the impacted wisdom tooth; as it partially emerges from the gum, it allows bacteria into your gums. This creates a situation where the chance of infection is extremely high and so your wisdom tooth (or teeth) must be removed as soon as possible. These impacted wisdom teeth are also likely to suffer from chronic tooth decay, because these teeth are hard to reach and brushing and maintenance become a great discomfort.  .

Signs and Symptoms of Infected Wisdom Teeth  

Sometimes you may not experience any pain even though complications exist in your wisdom teeth. The below mentioned signs and symptoms can let you know the correct time to speak to your dentist about the affordable wisdom teeth removal in Sydney:

• The symptoms of wisdom teeth removal can include pain at the back of your mouth, behind the molars. This pain may gradually increase with time as your wisdom teeth continue to grow in sideways or misaligned manner, pressing your bone and nerves. Your wisdom teeth begin to shift due to crowding in your mouth.
• You can feel discomfort due to the wisdom tooth emerging at an awkward angle and rubbing against your cheek or tongue. Other symptoms include redness, tenderness, pain, and/or swelling around the infected area.
• This situation allows bacteria to enter through the open tissue, as wisdom teeth begin to erupt through the surface of your gums. This can result in tooth infection. Dental infections have been shown to affect your overall health as well. 
• It’s also possible for your wisdom teeth to become impacted, i.e. a state in which the neighboring teeth or jaw bone block your wisdom teeth from erupting. As their roots continue to elongate, they become trapped in place, and the longer they remain impacted, the more likely they will cause problems for your oral and general health. 
• Wisdom teeth symptoms due to impaction include severe pain at the end of your gum, infection, and many other complications. Bad taste upon chewing food, foul breath, redness and swelling can all be signs of wisdom teeth infection. If impacted wisdom teeth are left untreated, they can breed cysts and, in rare cases it result in tumors.

Cost of wisdom teeth removal

Removing wisdom teeth is almost always necessary when they start causing trouble to you. The cost of wisdom teeth removal in Sydney varies widely depending upon:

• the number of problematic wisdom teeth
• the scope and nature of the treatment required
• the nature of the placement of the wisdom teeth

Except in the most urgent cases, your dentist provides a full written costing before any treatment or removal of wisdom teeth is commenced.

Having your wisdom teeth removed can be quite a task. While some people fear the occurrence of dry socket (only 5% of patients suffer from this problem), post the surgery, most patients are worried about the pain and complexities that occur during the extraction process. However the extraction process varies from one patient to another and in order to assess the level of difficulty of extraction the following factors must be considered.

1. The placement of the wisdom tooth in the jaw
   The abnormalities in the alignment of the tooth with the jaw and its way of piercing into the gum determine the difficulty of the extraction process and may also impact wisdom teeth removal cost in Sydney. Generally, tooth that is leaning forward and upright is much easier to remove than the one that is tilted horizontally.
   
2. Type of impaction
   An erupted tooth (the ones which have penetrated completely through the gums) is much easier to extract than an impacted one. Bony impactions (tooth that is partially or completely encased in jawbone) are more complex than the soft-tissue impactions. Wisdom teeth removal cost in Sydney will vary based on the problem and the type of impaction too.
   
3. Depth of the tooth
   The depth of the wisdom tooth with respect to its neighbours (the second molars) is also used to estimate the difficulty level of the extraction process. When the tooth is positioned deeper, then the dentist is forced to remove more bone tissue. As a result, the surgical area has a larger wound and the healing process takes a much longer time. Also the chance of potential problems like dry socket, sinuses and damage to the nerves in the case of deeply rooted impacted wisdom teeth. All these factors ultimately shoot up the wisdom teeth removal Sydney cost for the patient.
   
4. The anatomy of the root of wisdom tooth
   The wisdom tooth has multiple roots (2 or 3 based on its location) and these roots may be separate and distinct or fused together. The anatomy of the roots also determines the difficulty level of the extraction process. For instance, tooth with partially formed roots can be easily extracted and wisdom teeth removal cost in Sydney in this case is relatively low. Another important feature of the root is its curvature. If the curvature facilitates easy extraction then the process can be completed easily.
   
5. Age of the patient
   As the patient ages, the tooth becomes fully formed and extraction becomes difficult. Experts recommend patients to remove the wisdom tooth between the age of 18 and 25 as only two-thirds of the tooth is formed until then and manipulating the surgery is easier too.
