Experienced Wisdom Teeth Removal in Coolum Beach
Meet Dr. Gohil
Wisdom teeth removal is an area of particular interest for Dr Gohil. He has more than a decade of dental surgery experience and has removed thousands of impacted wisdom teeth throughout his career.
His experience includes straightforward extractions as well as more involved cases where wisdom teeth are impacted, difficult to access or positioned close to surrounding teeth.
Dr Gohil also mentors other Queensland dentists in wisdom teeth removal techniques, giving patients access to extensive hands-on experience at our Coolum Beach clinic.
Wisdom Teeth Removal Without Unnecessary Hospital Treatment
Many wisdom teeth can be removed in-chair at Dentistry on Coolum without requiring hospital admission.
Where suitable, treatment can be completed under local anaesthetic at our Sunshine Coast clinic. This can make the process simpler and may avoid the additional costs involved with hospital treatment and general anaesthetic.
Your dentist will assess the position and complexity of your wisdom teeth before recommending the most appropriate approach. If your case requires hospital treatment or specialist care, we will explain this and arrange the appropriate referral.
Nervous About Wisdom Teeth Removal? IV Sedation Is Available
Feeling nervous about having your wisdom teeth removed is common. For suitable patients, Dentistry on Coolum offers IV sedation to help you feel more relaxed during treatment.
IV sedation may be worth discussing if you experience dental anxiety, feel concerned about extractions or need a longer or more involved procedure.
Your suitability for sedation will be assessed before treatment so you understand what to expect and can make an informed decision.

FAQs
What are the signs my wisdom teeth are coming in?
Common signs include pain or pressure at the back of the mouth, tender gums, swelling and discomfort around your back molars. Some people also notice difficulty opening their mouth or pain when chewing.
If these symptoms are persistent or getting worse, a dental assessment can help determine whether your wisdom teeth are causing the problem.

Why do wisdom teeth cause so much pain?
Wisdom teeth can cause pain when there is not enough room for them to erupt properly. They may become impacted, press against nearby teeth or create areas where food and bacteria become trapped.
Inflammation or infection around a partially erupted wisdom tooth can also cause significant pain and swelling. If your pain is severe or develops suddenly, contact our team for an urgent assessment.

How can I relieve wisdom tooth pain before my appointment?
A cold compress against the outside of your face may help reduce swelling. Gentle saltwater rinses can also help keep the area clean.
Suitable over-the-counter pain relief may help manage discomfort while you wait for your appointment. Follow the product directions and speak with your pharmacist or healthcare professional if you are unsure what is suitable for you.
Pain relief does not treat the underlying cause, so ongoing or severe wisdom tooth pain should still be assessed by a dentist.

Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Removal may be recommended if a wisdom tooth causes repeated pain, infection, decay, damage to nearby teeth or other dental problems.
Your dentist can assess your wisdom teeth and explain whether monitoring or removal is the better option.
