How to judge long wisdom teeth
question 1: how do you know wisdom teeth? It's wisdom teeth. The swollen face is also caused by this reason.

When my wisdom teeth grew out in the winter of 21, I suffered from pain, swelling and pus for a month, and I couldn't even eat tofu. Later, I had a small tip, and the next year I slowly grew a third. I didn't do anything. In the winter of 22, when I was preparing for the exam, I might get a little angry. At first, it was painful, and then it was swollen. Finally, my temples were swollen, so I couldn't touch them. When I touched them, it hurt. I couldn't stand it, so I went to the hospital, washed and medicated for a week before the inflammation went down, then cleaned my teeth, and finally pulled out my teeth, and it didn't cost me less to suffer. So now that you have swollen gums and temple pain, you should go to a regular hospital as soon as possible to see a doctor. If you take a dental film, you will know whether it is long and straight. If you pull out your wisdom teeth without long and straight, your gums will feel painful, swollen and uncomfortable. Therefore, don't eat spicy and chewy food and don't give your gums bigger * * *.

Most people can't keep their wisdom teeth (or suffer from repeated inflammation; Or impacted wisdom teeth, it is impossible to grow), they will choose to pull them out. You've only been in pain for two days. I don't know if it can grow. I suggest you take some anti-inflammatory drugs first (metronidazole, take it half an hour after meals, otherwise it will hurt your stomach). As long as your wisdom teeth can be straightened without affecting other teeth, you don't need to pull them out. Because it's hard to pull out wisdom teeth.

if, after a while, you go to the hospital and the doctor says you can pull it out, just pull it out. If you don't pull it out, it will affect other teeth (for example, it doesn't grow straight, and it forms a gap with the front teeth, and food residue is left in it, which is not easy to clean, and it is easy to cause dental caries. At that time, you will suffer more. Not only do you eat something to cushion your teeth, but it will also damage the front teeth, and it is also easy to cause dental caries.) Such wisdom teeth are also called impacted teeth, which will hinder the growth of other teeth. Therefore, as soon as the doctor says that they are impacted teeth, they must be pulled out, otherwise, as long as you get angry, that tooth will begin to hurt.

Also, the teeth are usually a pair of upper and lower teeth, which are called occlusal teeth. Your lower wisdom teeth grow, and so does your upper wisdom teeth. Therefore, if the lower wisdom tooth is pulled out, the upper wisdom tooth must also be pulled out. Without another occlusal tooth, it will grow. Therefore, tooth extraction, especially wisdom tooth extraction, is in pairs. But you can't pull them out together. I remember the doctor said that you can only pull one at a time, otherwise the trauma will be too great and the recovery will be slow.

if you have to pull it out, don't stop pulling it out because you are afraid. Just like the appendix, it is also a part of our body, but if it is repeatedly inflamed or even acutely perforated, shouldn't we all cut it off? So, don't procrastinate, the longer you procrastinate, the more you will suffer.

Also, it used to be more painful to pull out the lower wisdom teeth, because it is generally difficult to pull out the lower wisdom teeth (there are 3-4 teeth with separated roots, which need to be cleaned up when pulling out, and finally stitches have to be sewn on the gums; Therefore, the trauma will be greater. When I pulled out, I broke the tooth and took it out a little bit. The wisdom tooth and root on it all healed together, which is a big root. It is easy to pull out, and I feel that the pain is much less. The interval between two tooth extractions must be more than 3 months, and it is best to pull out a tooth after half a year.

If you decide to have your tooth extracted, you'd better find a good hospital in advance and make an appointment with a doctor, so that the doctor is prepared and he will tell you in detail some matters that need attention that day. Avoid menstrual period during tooth extraction, draw less blood in the morning, and have a full meal before tooth extraction. Because your situation belongs to dental surgery, you have to make an anesthetic and make a small incision in your gums, so it hurts for almost half a day after tooth extraction, and you can only eat a little soft bread. I was in college and went back after tooth extraction, swollen and painful all day. Everyone blames me for going alone, and I didn't ask them to accompany me. Our boss bought me bread and my sisters gave me water, which made me feel very warm when I thought about it. Oh, digression. Sorry. I've pulled out three teeth, and I plan to pull out the last impacted tooth this winter. Take metronidazole, an anti-inflammatory drug, for nearly a month after tooth extraction (eat it half an hour after meals, or it will hurt your stomach)

Try not to eat spicy, greasy and indigestible food for a week after tooth extraction. Because chewing is the first step of digestion. If you pull out your teeth, you can't do it well. Therefore, in the near future, it is best to eat something that is well digested. After I pulled out my tooth, it hurt for almost half a day, and I could only eat a little soft bread. My experience is bread, milk and porridge. Help to recover.

All of the above are my personal experiences in tooth extraction.

Therefore, you'd better go to a regular hospital first and see a doctor to see if it is necessary, even if it is necessary, don't be afraid. It's okay. It will only hurt for one day at most, and there will be no more troubles in the future. Trust me! ...> >

Question 2: How to tell whether it is a wisdom tooth? The third molar, commonly known as wisdom tooth, upright tooth and full head tooth, is the tooth closest to the throat. If all of them grow one ***4 teeth, two teeth in the upper jaw and two teeth in the lower jaw. Cut the tooth from the center line and count it to one side. If that tooth is the eighth tooth, it is a wisdom tooth. Touch it with your hand to see if it is particularly hard inside. If it is and it is always uncomfortable, it is estimated to be a wisdom tooth.

Question 3: How to judge whether you have wisdom teeth? Count from the front teeth, and the eighth tooth is wisdom teeth.

without the eighth tooth, there is no wisdom tooth.

Question 4: How to judge whether you have wisdom teeth? Count your teeth, and if more than 24 teeth are wisdom teeth.

or counting from the front teeth, the eighth tooth is the wisdom tooth.

Question 5: How to tell whether the wisdom tooth, the third permanent molar, is the latest tooth to erupt? Wisdom teeth usually begin to erupt after puberty or in their early twenties. Because there is not enough space, most wisdom teeth are impacted in the gum behind the jaw or erupt out of position. Most people have four wisdom teeth, which are located in the four back corners of the mouth. Each wisdom tooth has different eruption stage and impacted direction.

how do wisdom teeth grow?

In the later period of adolescence, the jaw develops to the size of an adult. But some people's jaws are not big enough, and there is not enough space for wisdom teeth to erupt. Wisdom teeth will be impacted in the jaw and grow in other directions. Only part of the crown may be exposed to the gum or completely buried in the jaw. The root may deform or grow to the maxillary sinus or mandibular nerve, which is very dangerous.

direction of wisdom teeth growth

Due to the lack of space, impacted wisdom teeth grow in different directions, generally forming an angle with adjacent teeth. It can grow towards adjacent teeth (impacted by angle in the middle), grow away from adjacent teeth (impacted by angle in the far middle), or be impacted horizontally or vertically.

Possible problems caused by wisdom teeth

Whether wisdom teeth cause oral problems depends on several factors, including the size of the jaw and the growth mode of wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth usually can't erupt in the right position, and it is easy to form food retention and difficult to clean between them and the front teeth, which can lead to caries, pain and swelling, and may not have any symptoms.

extraction of wisdom teeth-a wise choice

advantages of early extraction of wisdom teeth

like other teeth, wisdom teeth grow in the alveolar fossa of the jaw and are covered by bone and gum tissue before eruption. With the increase of age, the root of the tooth is getting bigger and bigger, the bone density of the jaw is getting higher and higher, and the wisdom teeth are more consolidated.

local anesthesia or sleep anesthesia can be used when pulling out.

The operation time depends on the degree of impacted teeth.

surgical procedure: partial or total eruption of wisdom teeth can be removed with dental forceps. If the root is deeply buried in the jaw, it may be necessary to cut off the tooth and pull it out in several parts; Wisdom teeth do not erupt, so it is necessary to cut the gums and remove the bone tissue covering the teeth.

After operation, you must do the following: bite the cotton ball for 1-3 hours after tooth extraction, and apply pressure to stop bleeding; On the day of operation, apply an ice pack to the cheek to relieve swelling; You can eat soft food and drink plenty of water on the day of operation; Take antibiotics or painkillers prescribed by your doctor.

what you can't do after operation: don't eat hard or crisp food for two weeks; Do not brush the teeth at the extraction site on the day of operation; Do not rinse your mouth or spit or saliva forcibly on the day of operation, which may cause blood clots to fall off; Don't smoke or drink on the day of operation.

Seek medical attention immediately if:

Massive bleeding; Severe and persistent swelling; Persistent severe pain; Fever; There is a drug sensitivity reaction.

Possible problems in wisdom tooth extraction

Local numbness: damage to adjacent nerves.

xerostomia: a persistent and severe pain caused by a long-lasting wound.

Infection:

Maxillary sinus problem: The upper wisdom teeth are close to the maxillary sinus, which will occasionally be damaged during tooth extraction.

jaw strength decreases: it is prone to fracture

Question 6: How can I know that I have wisdom teeth? A person has two pairs of teeth in his life. A pair of deciduous teeth began to grow around 6 months after birth and began to fall off at the age of 6. After deciduous teeth fall off, they gradually grow a pair of permanent teeth that can be used for life. From 6 to 12 years old is the exchange period of deciduous teeth and permanent teeth. There are 2 deciduous teeth, 1 maxillary and mandibular teeth, 32 permanent teeth and 16 maxillary and mandibular teeth. With the growth and development of the human body, the jaw bone is correspondingly widened and lengthened. In addition to the 2 permanent teeth in the original position of the 2 deciduous teeth, three pairs of large molars are sequentially grown from front to back at both ends of the maxilla: the first pair is about 6 years old for children, the second pair is about 12 years old, and the third pair is generally about 18-25 years old, but there are also some. The third pair of molars appeared when young people were about 2 years old and were in a period of long body and long knowledge, so people called the third pair of molars that grew in this period wisdom teeth. Why do you feel pain when wisdom teeth appear? Because wisdom teeth grow last, the distance between the distal end of mandible and the second pair of molars is very small, and there is not enough place to grow wisdom teeth, so the crown can only grow partially. If the alveolar bone is hard, the wisdom teeth will grow in the direction of alveolar bone looseness, resulting in the wisdom teeth growing horizontally or obliquely in the proximal direction, and then there will be a feeling of swelling and pain. If the surface of the crown is covered by a part of the gum, a pocket is formed between the tooth surface and the gum, and the food residue is easy to collect in the pocket, but it is not easy to wash out when brushing teeth and gargling, which creates favorable conditions for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. When the body's resistance is low, the gums of wisdom teeth often become inflamed. Normal wisdom teeth are beneficial to chewing. If the position is not correct, it is not easy to correct, and gingivitis is often induced. It is better to remove them as soon as possible, which is more beneficial to health.
