However, no one knows the pain of pulling out a birth tooth after wisdom tooth extraction, people complaining of pain after extraction, and celebrities who took pictures and posted them with puffy cheeks, it is said that there is no answer to what kind of pain A should face.
My desire to pull it out cool is like a chimney, but I'm hesitating to extract my wisdom teeth, do I have to do it? With the help of Professor Jeong Yeon-wook of Dentistry at Eulji University Hospital in Daejeon, we will learn about the reality of wisdom teeth.
◇Wisdom tooth, why on earth does it come out?
The wisdom tooth is the third largest molar in the rear of the mouth in the late teens and early 20s, and in medical terms it is called 'the third great denture'. In addition, it is also called 'Wisdom Teeth' because it comes out at an age where you can know wisdom, and in English it is called 'Wisdom Teeth', and if it is buried in the gum bone, it is called 'Ambicchi'.
Professor Jeong Yeon-wook said, "Unlike primitive people who ate raw food due to the development of civilization, modern people eat processed food and soft and cooked food, so their teeth function is reduced and the size of their jawbones is getting smaller."Since the size of the jawbone and the number of teeth that are getting smaller are not in harmony with each other, all four of them appear differently, from those who do not have any wisdom teeth to those who fly."
In addition, because it is squeezed out of a reduced narrow space, does not come out buried in bones, or is incomplete, such as horizontal or oblique, it may hurt or swell when wisdom teeth are formed.
◇Wisdom tooth, do I have to pull it out?
If your wisdom teeth are straight out, and the gap between your wisdom teeth and cheeks is enough to brush well, you don't have to remove them. Unfortunately, the reality is that 9 out of 10 people are abnormal or incomplete.
Wisdom teeth are often found lying or partially or entirely buried, and if food is stuck in this area, it is not easy to remove food because it is difficult to reach the brush even if it is brushed. As a result, inflammation and tooth decay are likely to occur, and in severe cases, the molar in front of the wisdom tooth may rot or the alveolar bone must be melted due to inflammation to remove permanent teeth.
In addition, when wisdom teeth penetrate the gums, inflammation is likely to occur, the face tends to swell severely, and the mouth may not open well, and pus may be filled. Usually, you can extract it after treating inflammation, but if the inflammation has spread badly, you should be hospitalized.
Wisdom teeth sometimes cause watery lumps in the jawbone, which grow and damage the surrounding teeth, nerves, and jawbones. In addition, the part with wisdom teeth is the thinnest and most powerful part of the jawbone, so it can be easily broken even with a weak impact.
In the case of women of childbearing age, even if their wisdom teeth become inflamed after pregnancy and suffer severe pain, it is difficult to extract except during the stabilization period, and there may be a burden on radiation tests and taking drugs, so it is recommended to remove them in advance.
◇Winning tooth, when should I pull it out?
The timing of wisdom tooth removal is determined by a dentist based on radiographs taken regularly and determines what kind of problems the wisdom tooth will cause in the future or whether continuous observation will be needed.
Professor Jeong Yeon-wook said, "Usually, it is recommended to extract it around the age of 18-22 when the wisdom tooth is not fully developed during this period, and it is easy to extract it because the wisdom tooth has little complete adhesion to the jawbone.".
In addition, extracting wisdom teeth in advance before complications caused by wisdom teeth can quickly recover and preserve permanent teeth healthily.
