Will it hurt when wisdom teeth grow?

Teeth are very important to people. Wisdom teeth will grow after adulthood, but will it hurt when wisdom teeth grow? Some people will feel pain, but some people will not feel it. It depends on the individual's actual situation. Wisdom teeth are not unfamiliar to everyone, but some people's wisdom teeth are not healthy. They are either too small or grow crooked, and some even become cavities, so wisdom teeth are usually extracted. However, if they are healthy and have no problems, they can be retained.

Few people don't feel pain, but most people do. Wisdom teeth are teeth that most people now consider to be useless. Early humans needed to use their teeth to bite things and eat raw meat frequently, so wisdom teeth were developed. But nowadays people eat very fine food, and wisdom teeth are so thin that they have no use value. Most people don’t bite hard objects or chew much when they are young, so their mandibular bones will no longer develop, leaving no room for wisdom teeth to grow. Therefore, most people's wisdom teeth now grow crookedly because they have no place to grow and it is difficult for them to grow out. It will also be painful because the wisdom teeth will push against other teeth. Wisdom teeth grow intermittently, and when they grow they hurt, and it’s a very uncomfortable pain. It is recommended to unplug it directly.

What medicine should I take for wisdom tooth pain?

It could be pericoronitis of wisdom teeth. You can take some anti-inflammatory and painkillers (if you are not allergic to cephalosporins, you can take amoxicillin + metronidazole). It is recommended that you go to the dental department for pericoronal irrigation and take some oral medications. You can remove the tooth when it no longer hurts.

Precautions

1. First, you need to reduce inflammation, take some medicine, and rinse your mouth with mouthwash or light salt water.

2. Don't eat spicy food, seafood, eggs, etc. Vegetables and fruits are fine, but a little lean meat is also fine.

3. Wisdom teeth are teeth that don’t have much use. Go to the dental hospital for an X-ray to see if the wisdom teeth are growing irregularly. If wisdom teeth cause inflammation and often cause decay of the teeth next to them, in this case we generally require the wisdom teeth to be extracted. Wisdom teeth that cause repeated gum pain must be extracted.

Why do wisdom teeth cause pain?

Because wisdom teeth are the last to grow, the distance between the distal end of the mandible and the second pair of large molars is very small at this time, there is not enough space for the wisdom teeth to grow, and the crown can only partially grow out. If the alveolar bone is very hard, the wisdom tooth will grow in the direction of the porous alveolar bone, resulting in the wisdom tooth growing in a horizontal position or growing tilted in the mesial direction, which will cause a feeling of swelling and pain. If the surface of the tooth crown is covered by a portion of the gums, a pocket will be formed between the tooth surface and the gums. Food residues will easily accumulate in the pocket, and it will be difficult to wash out when brushing your teeth and rinsing your mouth. This 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.
