When people have the need to have their wisdom teeth removed, consultations with an oral surgeon in Sydney are the best approach. Pre-surgical consultations include x-rays and examination of the status of the wisdom teeth in question, so that the oral surgeon can decide which wisdom teeth have to be removed and which do not need to be removed as the situation can be remedied without surgical intervention. There is yet another benefit of consulting an oral surgeon in Sydney: patients get to know the surgeon and his staff, and they can be reassured and feel comfortable as they undergo examinations to find out what the measures to be taken in their specific case are.

Besides the need for the removal of wisdom teeth, consultations with an oral surgeon in Sydney involve the discussion of another important question: that of anesthesia. In general, to decide on the type of anesthesia, the patient and the oral surgeon should discuss the difficulty of the surgery, as well as the patient’s level of anxiety and fear of pain. There are general and local anesthesia which are applied in the surgery for wisdom teeth removal. In the event that the oral surgeon in Sydney decides the prospects are for easy surgery, or if the patient does not experience high anxiety, local anesthesia can be the solution. If there are signs of difficult surgery expected, and if the patient is highly anxious and fearing the pain, general anesthesia is selected.

Yet another factor to be discussed with an oral surgeon in Sydney is the factor of age. In young people, the chances of not experiencing severe pain while wisdom teeth are removed are high. With adults, the possibility of severe pain is much higher, as their wisdom teeth are firmly set into their jaw bones.
