Shouldn t both wisdom teeth be removed? Will pulling only one side affect the shape of the face?

Hello, it should be said that only the problem of wisdom teeth will not affect the face shape, if it is one left and one right, then the left and the right are not much related, if the remaining one is very healthy, then there is no need to pull it out.

However, if you have wisdom teeth that are not problematic, and their symmetrical wisdom teeth are missing for various reasons, then it is recommended that you extract them, because if there are no teeth on the opposite side of the lower teeth, they will be extended upwards, and the lower teeth move forward, then after elongation, it is likely to block the upper teeth, causing movement disorders. Of course, the reverse is no problem.

Hope you get a good morning!

Wisdom tooth extraction: Wisdom teeth should be preserved as much as possible, and they should not be extracted if they can be extracted, because tooth extraction may damage nerves and memory.

Many people often ask: Should wisdom teeth be removed? Often, your dentist will recommend wisdom tooth removal for a few reasons:

1.Tooth decay: If the wisdom tooth is decayed, and the decay is very deep, or even requires a root canal**, we always recommend extraction to prevent future problems.

2.Invasion of adjacent teeth: Usually wisdom teeth do not have enough space to erupt, and they will fall on the second molar, resulting in the second molars are not easy to clean, and even the tooth is partially absorbed, resulting in discomfort or toothache for the patient.

3.Lack of space: As a result, the dental arch is getting smaller and smaller, and it is common to run out of space. Swelling and pain are most felt during germination.

Wisdom tooth extraction may have an impact on facial symmetry. Wisdom teeth are one of the human teeth that are located in the middle of the jaw and are connected to the mandible. If you remove one wisdom tooth, then the mandible on this side may be slightly looser, and the ** on this side may be slightly drooping.

However, this effect is usually subtle and does not cause significant asymmetry in the face. If you're concerned about how wisdom teeth extraction will affect your facial symmetry, talk to your dentist for more details about wisdom teeth extraction.

If you decide to have wisdom teeth extracted, you should choose a dental professional to perform the procedure to ensure safety and quality. Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure and should be considered with caution. Before proceeding with wisdom tooth extraction, it is important to have a detailed communication with the doctor to understand the risks and possible sequelae of the surgery so that you can make an informed decision.

Wisdom tooth extraction usually does not affect the facial contour, i.e. it does not cause the face to be crooked. However, if the patient experiences facial swelling, hemi-chewing, and condylar resorption after one wisdom tooth is removed, it may cause the face to be crooked after tooth extraction.

1. Facial swelling: If there is infection at the part of wisdom tooth extraction, it can cause swelling on the side of the tooth extraction, and then the face is crooked.

2. Hemi-chewing: After extracting one wisdom tooth, if there are wisdom teeth on the other side, especially if there are some impacted wisdom teeth, which may cause tooth pain or damage to the front teeth, and then cause chewing discomfort on one side of the wisdom teeth, the patient may only use the side of the wisdom tooth extraction to chew, and lateral chewing will occur, so that the masseter muscle on the side of the wisdom tooth is overdeveloped and the face is crooked, usually after improving the chewing habits, the face will gradually improve;

3. Condylar resorption: due to the patient's mouth opening time during tooth extraction, the temporomandibular joint is damaged by percussion operation, or the patient himself has temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome, it may lead to aggravation of joint symptoms after tooth extraction and condylar resorption, which may also cause a crooked face. If the temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome is caused by lateral chewing after tooth extraction, the patient can remove the other wisdom tooth in time, or use drugs such as succinylcholine and ibuprofen to minimize the occurrence of crooked face.

Except in the above special cases, the removal of one wisdom tooth does not cause the face to be crooked under normal circumstances. After tooth extraction, drugs such as metronidazole and cephalexin need to be given to prevent infection, and patients need to follow the doctor's instructions to take the course of treatment to avoid swelling and crooked face. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to oral hygiene after wisdom teeth are removed, avoid using a toothbrush to clean the mouth, and use mouthwash to clean it.

If your wisdom teeth removal process is performed by a professional dentist, there will generally be no facial asymmetry. Before wisdom teeth are removed, the dentist will carry out a diagnosis and planning of the full punch to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. Your dentist will take into account the structure of your mouth and face and take appropriate measures to guarantee the success of the procedure.

However, sometimes there may be some slight changes after the surgery, such as tooth loss leading to gum depression, but this is usually rare, and can be repaired by filling or dental implants. If you are concerned about how your face will look after wisdom teeth are removed, you can consult your dentist and your dentist will tell you about further restoration options.

No. Wisdom teeth removal can have minimal changes to the shape of the face and even to the appearance.

The shape of the face is mainly determined by the jawbone, and the teeth affect the face shape to a certain extent. Wisdom teeth grow at the end of the gums and squeeze the jawbone, eventually causing the jaw to move forward and lengthen, resulting in a fat face. In some people, when wisdom teeth are removed, the support of wisdom teeth is gone, the cheeks are deflated, and the face looks smaller.

A small number of wisdom teeth are crooked, which will repeatedly cause inflammation, resulting in the proliferation and swelling of the surrounding tissues, and also make the face look bloated. In general, some 18 to 30-year-olds will have a slimming effect on the face to a certain extent, but the effect will not be obvious.
