Should wisdom teeth be pulled? In these 6 cases, please unplug it as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer endlessly
Wisdom teeth usually grow between the ages of 16 and 30. At this stage, people's minds have matured, so they are called wisdom teeth and have nothing to do with people's IQ. Everyone's wisdom teeth will be different. For example, some people grow four wisdom teeth in a row, and some people don't have one, and some people's wisdom teeth grow in a very positive position, and they can even bite food normally...
So should wisdom teeth be pulled? What needs to be removed? Below, Liangjian Haoyaojun will list 6 situations in which wisdom teeth need to be extracted. See if you have been hit?
In most cases, the dentist will recommend you to have them removed, because wisdom teeth are the natural enemy of oral health. If you have the following symptoms, then Liangjian Haoyaojun recommends that it is better to have a long pain than a short one-
pull!
① Repeated inflammation
Because the wisdom teeth grow in the wrong position, there may be gaps between the wisdom teeth and other molars, and this place is usually difficult to clean by brushing the teeth, and there are often food residues. Over time, it is easy to induce pericoronitis. Pericoronitis is swollen and painful, and it also recurs because of the repeated retention of food residues. Therefore, it is best to remove the wisdom teeth once and for all after the inflammation has passed.
② Wisdom teeth are decayed
Wisdom teeth have deep caries (also known as cavities, tooth decay), or they are straight and crooked, the cavities appear on the adjacent surfaces of the teeth, and the straightness is deep. It is better to pull it out, otherwise it may cause neuralgia and pulpitis.
③ Disharmony with adjacent teeth
Wisdom teeth have insufficient space for eruption and cannot form a good adjoining relationship with adjacent teeth, which is always the most likely to cause tooth plugging, resulting in adjacent tooth decay or alveolar bone resorption.
In the long run, the original healthy teeth will be damaged, and then both teeth will be damaged, which will greatly affect the chewing function.
④ The upper and lower wisdom teeth are not matched successfully
If the wisdom teeth on the same side have not grown or have been pulled out, and there is no opposing wisdom teeth to bite against, sometimes the wisdom teeth will be excessively erupted and elongated, or even too much to bite directly on the same side of the gums, repeatedly biting the gums, serious. Affect bite.
⑤ Wisdom teeth must be removed for orthodontics
Because of the alignment of the teeth to ensure the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment, it is generally considered to extract wisdom teeth or other less important teeth, such as bicuspids, which are the teeth behind the tiger teeth.
If the wisdom teeth take up space and cause other teeth to be misaligned and deformed, it is even more necessary to extract them.
⑥ Cause other diseases
The abnormal position of wisdom teeth eruption leads to disordered occlusal relationship, which affects the normal activities of the temporomandibular joint. It may also cause an outgrowth of the jawbone and destroy the jawbone.
In general, hidden wisdom teeth are best removed first. You can go to the dental hospital to take a dental film to see where your wisdom teeth grow. If it is not impacted, it is best. If it is, then extract it as soon as possible.
