Do wisdom teeth in the mouth have to be removed? Your understanding may be wrong, see experts understand
What we are now advocating is preventive extractions, such as early extraction of misplaced wisdom teeth and removal of frequently pericoronitis wisdom teeth when women are trying to conceive. Not to mention the decayed wisdom teeth, which absolutely must be extracted!
Let’s first look at the direction in which the wisdom tooth grows. If it is against the adjacent tooth, whether it is fully erupted or not, it is an impacted wisdom tooth. It does not grow in line with the adjacent tooth. It needs to be extracted first. This is actually the same as brushing your teeth. It can prevent the formation of dental calculus. Now, extraction is actually to prevent pericoronitis and rotten teeth. Unless the wisdom teeth grow relatively straight, it is only a stage of shallow caries. Tooth can be filled.
So if the wisdom teeth are crooked, is it still time to fill them?
In fact, after the wisdom teeth are filled, it will still threaten the adjacent teeth. The gap between them, and the position is relatively back, it is very difficult to clean, and the food residue will be stuffed inside, causing the growth of bacteria, and both teeth will become If the cavities are dragged out until the toothache comes out, it is very likely that bacteria will infect the nerves of the teeth, resulting in acute pulpitis, which still requires root canal treatment.
From a long-term perspective, early extraction will avoid future troubles. Generally, it will be fine after filling teeth, but once the resistance drops, it is very easy to cause inflammation of the wisdom teeth, and the residue in the blind bag will also increase, and even There is pus that will flow out, and the granulation tissue inside will actually be infected.
Will wisdom teeth extraction cause dry socket?
- Not under normal circumstances. If the trauma is relatively small, and some patients have relatively good physique, it will not hurt after extraction. For example, if the difficulty of extraction is relatively large, the wound will definitely be larger. Maybe There will be a risk of infection. As long as you eat metronidazole and ibuprofen well, and do not destroy blood clots, the sutured wound may be initially healed in about a week, and the hole may grow in about 3 months. flat.
- If the pain is still very severe after more than 4 days, you may need to go to a follow-up consultation. Be careful that the alveolar bone wall is inflamed, but if it is only slightly painful, you can observe it first. Once you have dry socket, usually The extraction socket will appear empty, often feel a foul odor, pain that radiates to the ear, and even a headache.
So what are the benefits of preventive wisdom tooth extraction?
Wisdom teeth that grow out of the wrong position may cause food impaction without exception, which is what we often call tooth plugging! Because it is not easy to clean at the back, food spoilage may cause bad breath and pericoronitis of wisdom teeth in mild cases, and caries of adjacent teeth in severe cases. Therefore, early extraction may be effective in preventing the decay of adjacent teeth!
During pregnancy, there are many patients with pericoronitis of wisdom teeth, which is likely to have a certain relationship with the changes in systemic hormone levels. However, in order not to affect the development of the fetus, there are great limitations in the treatment of drugs.
Which wisdom teeth are totally unnecessary to keep?
Those that have been decayed or are impacted or have no opposite wisdom teeth, those that have been extracted, need orthodontic treatment, or cannot be cleaned daily, the above are actually unnecessary to keep.
However, now almost every two people may have a wisdom tooth extracted. If you have not had your wisdom teeth extracted, can you say that your life is complete? It's like when you go to college, if you don't fail a course, your college life is incomplete.
Therefore, it is found that wisdom teeth may be cavities. We do not recommend fillings, because there are certain hidden dangers in the later stage, and it is still necessary to bravely extract them.
