It is the last teeth to develop and erupt into the jaws, where in the dental term we called it as the third molars. Problems that usually cause by wisdom tooth are gum infection, create cavities to itself as well as to adjacent tooth, teeth crowding and lose their original position and lastly is cyst formation which cause damaging to adjacent teeth, the jawbone and nerves. Should you be scared to wisdom tooth surgery? Here is the right place for you as we always focus painless treatment with absolute accuracy!

Apicoectomy

In this procedure, the endodontist opens the gum tissue near the tooth to see the underlying bone and to remove any inflamed or infected tissue. The very end of the root is also removed. A small filling may be placed in the root to seal the end of the root canal, and a few stitches or sutures are placed in the gingiva to help the tissue heal properly. Over a period of months, the bone heals around the end of the root.

Tongue-tie

With tongue-tie, an unusually short, thick or tight band of tissue (lingual frenulum) tethers the bottom of the tongue’s tip to the floor of the mouth. A person who has tongue-tie might have difficulty sticking out his or her tongue. Tongue-tie can also affect the way a child eats, speaks and swallows, as well as interfere with breast-feeding.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ)

Worry-Free Experience

Yeelin Chen

Dr How is by far the most professional and gentle dentist I ever met. I did invisalign and even removed 4 of my wisdom teeth with him. Just like Dr How promised, there's no pain, no swollen and fast healing process after the process! So amazed. Would highly recommend everyone to come here for any dental procedures, you'll
be in good hands 🙂

Got two of my wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Alice Wong few days ago. The whole process was painless and really quick and I did not suffer from any terrible after effect. My face did not even swell after extraction! Besides, Christine also follow up with my situation for a few days to make sure my wound is in good condition. Christine has been really helpful throughout the process. Overall I am highly satisfied
by the service offered by the clinic!

Had my lower wisdom tooth extracted today by Dato Dr How. It was super fast, done within 15 mins and painless! I'm eating like normal now and don't even feel pain after 9 hours of pain killer.

Had an inner grown tooth, and got it removed by dr How, painless and tenseness. Was at first worried that my gum would swell and feel pain after an hour or two, but literally zero pain until recovery, and the swelling went away within a week.
