First, do you want to pull out your wisdom teeth?
For wisdom teeth, some people say that they should be pulled out, while others say that they should not be pulled out. What should we do? In fact, whether wisdom teeth need to be extracted varies from person to person.
Don't pull out: If the wisdom teeth don't have any uncomfortable symptoms, and the eruption position is relatively positive and the occlusion relationship is good, they can be pulled out.
Tooth extraction: If the gums around wisdom teeth are red and swollen repeatedly, it may even lead to facial swelling and limited mouth opening. It is recommended to remove it as soon as possible after anti-inflammation.
Second, do you want to pull out your wisdom teeth?
If the position of wisdom teeth is abnormal and they are not completely erupted and decayed, it is generally recommended to remove them; If the wisdom teeth are not positioned correctly, the molars next to them will be eroded or loosened by extrusion. In this case, it is also recommended to pull out as soon as possible, and then treat the crushed molars according to the situation. When irregular teeth need to be corrected, wisdom teeth may often be pulled out according to the needs of the correction plan.
Third, leave holes in wisdom teeth.
Generally, there will be a wound after the wisdom tooth is pulled out. At first, it is a deep depression, and then the alveolar bone slowly heals to fill the wound and flatten it. Therefore, food may be stuffed in the place just two or three weeks after tooth extraction, such as falling into watermelon seeds and sticky rice grains, which is also very common, especially in the first week.
Note: the first 2-3 days are easy to penetrate and hurt, which is not conducive to wound recovery. It is recommended to rinse your mouth gently after eating, and you can rinse your mouth slightly. Never recommend gargling vigorously.
Fourth, it takes about 3 months for the "tooth cavity" to grow flat.
In fact, the wound healed from the inside out, and the "hole" left by tooth extraction was basically flat after about three months of bone tissue formation. At this time, the worrying "tooth hole" basically disappeared.
However, it should be noted that paying too much attention to cleaning up the food left in the "cavity" is not conducive to wound healing.
