Wisdom Teeth Extraction at Viva Dental Orangeville
Wisdom Teeth removal in Orangeville
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, usually come in when you’re in your late teens or early twenties. They’re called ‘third molars’ because they show up after the second molars have already come in.
Wisdom teeth can be helpful if they grow straight up and fit well. But sometimes, they grow slanted or sideways, which can be troublesome. This kind of irregular growth can lead to issues like teeth crowding and harm to the nearby second molars.
A lot of times, there’s a difference in size between the teeth and the jaw, causing blockages. To figure out if you need to take out your wisdom teeth, come see our nearby dentist for an evaluation.
Impactions can lead to a number of oral health complications including;
- Pain
- Infection
- Tooth Crowding
- Cyst Formation
- Ulcerations
- Food traps
- Caries (Decay)
At Viva Dental in Orangeville we use digital x-rays to take pictures inside your gums. These images help us see what’s happening and decide if your wisdom teeth should be taken out. We also figure out the best way to do it safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes tooth sensitivity?
Tooth sensitivity happens when the inner layer of the tooth (dentin) is exposed or irritated. Common causes include gum recession, enamel wear, teeth grinding (bruxism), tooth decay, cracked teeth, and worn fillings.Why are my teeth sensitive to cold drinks?
Cold sensitivity often points to exposed dentin, early enamel breakdown, or gum recession. It can also be caused by cavities or small cracks—especially if it’s sharp and localized to one tooth.Why do my teeth hurt with hot foods or sweets?
Heat or sweet sensitivity can signal deeper irritation of the tooth nerve, decay, or a cracked tooth. If it’s strong or lingering, it’s worth checking sooner rather than later.Is tooth sensitivity a sign of a cavity?
It can be. Sensitivity that’s increasing, focused on one tooth, or triggered by chewing is more suspicious for cavities, a cracked tooth, or a leaking filling.Can teeth grinding (bruxism) cause sensitivity?
Yes. Grinding can wear enamel and create micro-cracks, leading to sensitivity and jaw soreness. A custom night guard can help protect teeth and reduce stress on the bite.What toothpaste is best for sensitive teeth?
Look for a desensitizing toothpaste for sensitive teeth and use it consistently. Apply a thin layer to sensitive areas at night (don’t rinse heavily) for better results. It can take 1–2 weeks to notice improvement.Should I use a soft toothbrush for sensitive teeth?
Usually, yes. A soft-bristle toothbrush plus gentle technique helps prevent further enamel and gum wear. Brushing too hard is a very common reason sensitivity gets worse.Can teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Yes—temporary sensitivity is common with whitening, especially if you already have exposed dentin or recession. If whitening triggers pain, pause and ask about sensitivity-friendly options.What dental treatments help with tooth sensitivity?
Depending on the cause, treatments may include fluoride varnish, desensitizing agents, bonding on exposed root surfaces, replacing a failing filling, treating a cavity, or managing grinding with a night guard.When should I see a dentist for tooth sensitivity?
Book an exam if sensitivity lasts more than 1–2 weeks, is worsening, is concentrated in one tooth, wakes you at night, or hurts when chewing—those can be signs of decay, a crack, or nerve inflammation.
