Wisdom teeth are the third molars located at the back of the mouth.
Some develop without causing significant problems, while others may become impacted, partially erupted or difficult to maintain.
At Mabelle Dental Etobicoke, we provide wisdom teeth assessments in Etobicoke and can determine whether monitoring or removal may be appropriate.
A wisdom tooth is impacted when it cannot fully emerge into its expected position.
This may happen because:
• There is insufficient space
• The tooth develops at an angle
• Surrounding bone restricts eruption
• Gum tissue partially covers the tooth
Possible symptoms include:
• Pain at the back of the mouth
• Swollen or tender gums
• Jaw discomfort
• Difficulty opening the mouth
• Food trapping
• Unpleasant taste
• Persistent bad breath
• Recurrent inflammation
Some impacted wisdom teeth may not cause noticeable symptoms.
No.
Wisdom teeth do not automatically need to be extracted.
Your dentist will consider their position, symptoms, development, surrounding structures and ability to maintain the area before making a recommendation.
Your assessment may include:
• Examination of your teeth and gums
• Review of symptoms
• Dental X-rays when required
• Evaluation of tooth position
• Assessment of surrounding structures
If removal is recommended, your dental provider can explain the procedure, relevant risks and aftercare.

Great experience! I’m usually very nervous about dentist appointments and treatments, but I recently had my fillings and tooth extraction done by Dr. Mustakeem, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was extremely patient, gentle, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Really happy with the care I received and would definitely recommend Dr. Mustakeem to anyone looking for a dentist in the area.Posted on Google![]()
