Do I have to have wisdom teeth removed? Do wisdom teeth have to be extracted?

It depends.

Wisdom teeth do not have to be removed, and whether they need to be removed depends on the condition of the wisdom teeth themselves. If the wisdom tooth is positioned in the correct direction and the upper and lower jaw wisdom teeth have a good occlusal relationship, they can play a chewing role and can not be extracted.

In addition, there are wisdom teeth that do not erupt and are completely buried in the alveolar bone, which has nothing to do with adjacent teeth, does not compress adjacent teeth, and can be retained, but regular follow-up observation is required.

The "history" of wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth are the same products of human evolution, as are the appendix, which is the organ used by humans in primitive times to digest foods such as crude fibers, such as tree roots, and wisdom teeth are teeth used to chew foods such as coarse fiber, roots and bark, which help the human digestive system.

With the progress of human beings, food has become more and more refined, and human beings have gradually degraded what they do not need, and the lower jaw has become smaller, and there is almost no room for wisdom teeth to grow on the jaw, and there is no more teeth in the upper jaw.

Do wisdom teeth have to be extracted?

In these five situations, you must pull out!

Wisdom teeth do not have to be extracted, but depend on the growth of wisdom teeth. For normal people, wisdom teeth are dispensable, if wisdom teeth erupt naturally like other teeth, do not cause us any trouble, do not affect eating, and do not produce any pain, in this case can not be extracted. On the contrary, if the wisdom tooth hurts after three days and two trips, and it is accompanied by inflammation, which has seriously affected normal life, work and study, it should be considered to be removed.

Wisdom tooth decay If the wisdom tooth decay is not very bad, it can be remedied. If tooth decay is not usually severe and the filling is not enough, it should be removed in time to prevent tooth decay from occurring in the surrounding teeth.

2.The arrival of wisdom teeth that leads to lesions in adjacent teeth seriously affects the cleanliness and hygiene of adjacent teeth, resulting in the growth and reproduction of various bacteria and viruses, and then the occurrence of inflammation and other lesions.

3.The older the pericoronitis is induced, the smaller the dental arch becomes. Once the wisdom teeth erupt, it will cause redness, swelling and pain in the patient's friend, and then induce the rent next to pericoronitis.

4.Impacted wisdom teethImpacted wisdom teeth are when a tooth grows laterally on the inside of the alveolar bone, resulting in a severe injury to the gums. Once this happens, it greatly increases the chances of inflammation and must be effectively treated as soon as possible.

5.After the toothache is severe, wisdom teeth erupt from time to time, and the pain is very strong, and you need to rely on painkillers to relieve the pain, so you need to remove it in time. Otherwise, it will not only affect the rest, but also reduce the work efficiency.

First of all, find a time when the job is relatively easy, preferably after the tooth extraction and you can rest the next day. Then there is the menstrual period. After that, it's time to go to the hospital** for X-rays and wisdom tooth extraction. Finally, it is necessary to carefully implement the doctor's postoperative instructions, that is, the precautions after tooth extraction.

It is recommended to remove the transverse length, otherwise the next tooth will be pushed out of a hole by the wisdom tooth and cause tooth decay.

Due to human evolution, many wisdom teeth are not enough to accommodate the entire tooth, resulting in impacted wisdom teeth and incomplete eruption, so not all wisdom teeth can fully erupt, but even if wisdom teeth can erupt, they are likely to grow crooked, so crooked wisdom teeth can be extracted without inflammation (such as pericoronitis), rather than waiting for it to fully erupt. If you want to know if other wisdom teeth in your jaw will come in, you can take x-rays to confirm the diagnosis. If it grows relatively positively, there is enough space to fully develop, and there are pairs of jaw teeth, it can also be retained according to the situation without extraction.

Jaw means a row of teeth).

No, it depends on the situation, first of all, you have to pray that you don't have impacted wisdom teeth, which are simply the bones of the mouth that don't have enough space for this wisdom tooth. But it's still very savagely growing. So pull it out.

Pull it out, I just finished pulling it out, remember to take some anti-inflammatory drugs, cephalosporin or something.
