Whether or not to Remove Wisdom Teeth When They are Not Painful.
Below, we will introduce the content related to Whether or not to Remove Wisdom Teeth When They are Not Painful. As the video said, many young people may encounter the situation of growing wisdom teeth. When they are in severe pain, they want to have them removed immediately. When they are not painful, they completely forget about it, and even if they remember, they lack the courage to have their teeth removed. This leads to repeated inflammation, repeated searches on the internet, fear, and procrastination. I don't know if the public's dental phobia comes from their innermost being.
Wisdom Teeth: They are the teeth closest to the throat in the mouth, counting from the front central incisors they are the eighth tooth, and usually, there should be four symmetrical teeth on the upper and lower jaws. Because it erupts late, usually between the ages of 16 to 25, a time when a person's physiological and psychological development is approaching maturity, it symbolizes "the arrival of wisdom," and is therefore commonly referred to as "wisdom teeth."
According to surveys:
- The eruption rate of wisdom teeth in the 16 to 25-year-old population in China is 54%.
- Among those with erupted wisdom teeth, impaction and misalignment account for about 44%.
- The incidence in the lower jaw is about 2.5 times higher than that in the upper jaw.
This can be seen very clearly on X-rays.
Due to poor positioning during eruption, wisdom teeth may be partially or fully covered by gum flaps. Being located on the innermost part of the mouth, they are difficult to clean while brushing, making it easy for food particles to become trapped between the teeth and leading to bacterial growth and inflammation. The pain intensifies during activities such as chewing, swallowing, and opening the mouth, and may even spread to infect other teeth. In the later stages of pericoronitis, symptoms may include halitosis, thick tongue coating, and pus discharge around the wisdom teeth. In severe cases, half of the face may become swollen, making it difficult to eat. Other accompanying symptoms may include fever, headache, constipation, and lymph node enlargement.
The statement in the article is correct, not all wisdom teeth need to be extracted, as it depends on individual cases. It is best to have an X-ray taken before making a decision.
If the wisdom teeth have already erupted normally, and their position and direction are correct, with good occlusion and no history of inflammation or pain, and without decay, then they can be retained.
If they cause repeated pain or impaction, such as tilting forward, backward, horizontally, or inverted, it is better to extract them, even if it is difficult. This is because they cannot grow in properly. Moreover, it is possible that the adjacent teeth in front of it may be affected by inflammation this year, and then extraction of one tooth may require extraction of another later on!
For women who are planning to get pregnant, it is essential, necessary, and urgent to immediately remove any wisdom teeth that may be obstructing their dental arch! Pregnancy is a high-risk period for wisdom tooth inflammation, and the risks associated with handling it are significant. Medications cannot be taken lightly, and if unlucky, the pregnant woman may suffer from excruciating pain and even develop osteomyelitis. Alternatively, antibiotics may be used, but this means sacrificing the fetus! This information has not been reported on CCTV entertainment programs, so I want to report it now. There have been cases where these scenarios have occurred.
Here is the translation of the paragraph:
"I am here to tell you responsibly that regular dental institutions will not overcharge for wisdom teeth extraction. The price of extracting wisdom teeth mainly depends on the city where you are located and the difficulty of the extraction. Generally, the cost ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. You may think that it's easy to remove a tooth, but a simple extraction can take only a few minutes. However, for impacted wisdom teeth, it can be a complex procedure that involves cutting the gums, using high-speed turbines for minimally invasive cutting, removing bone, splitting the tooth, scraping the socket, and stitching the wound to stop bleeding. The entire process can take two to three hours, which is comparable to an appendectomy (how much does that cost?). "
"When choosing to have your wisdom teeth extracted, it is important to choose a regular and professional dental hospital to avoid causing irreparable damage to your teeth and even your body!"
