Many people often ask: should wisdom teeth be pulled out? Usually, dentists will recommend the removal of wisdom teeth for the following reasons:
1. Tooth decay: If wisdom teeth suffer from tooth decay, we recommend pulling them out, except for simple tooth decay with shallow occlusal surface, those adjacent teeth that need good skills, and those with deep tooth decay or even root canal treatment, so as to prevent future troubles.
2. Adjacent tooth invasion: Usually the patient does not know, but is diagnosed by the dentist with X-ray. Usually, wisdom teeth don't have enough space to germinate, but they will fall on the second molar, which makes the second molar difficult to clean and even partially absorbed by the teeth, bringing discomfort or toothache to patients.
3. Lack of space: wisdom teeth are in a state of disappearance in the history of human evolution. Therefore, the dental arch is getting smaller and smaller, and the lack of space is very common. Swelling and pain can be felt most when sprouting. Many people decide to have their wisdom teeth removed because they can't stand the pain.
4. Cleaning is not easy: due to lack of space, wisdom teeth often grow crooked, which often makes it difficult to clean teeth and lead to tooth decay.
5. Impacted tooth: Usually this is the most annoying one. Dentists will find it difficult to repair, but patients may not feel it, so they ignore it. This type of tooth is usually buried in alveolar bone. If it hurts, or a lesion is diagnosed, it needs to be removed.
Finally, I wish you a smooth extraction of wisdom teeth! ! ! ! ! !
