For many people, growing wisdom teeth is a very uncomfortable thing. Not only does it often cause inflammation and pain, but it also affects their normal life.

If they are not removed at this time, will it harm my normal teeth? The following article will give you a detailed introduction to the nutrition for rotten wisdom teeth that are not removed.

What are wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth refer to the four third molars on the innermost part of the alveolar bone in the human mouth, one on the upper, lower, left and right sides. Because these four third molars begin to erupt at around the age of 20, when a person's physical and psychological development is close to maturity, they are regarded as a symbol of the "arrival of wisdom", so they are called "wisdom teeth" - teeth of wisdom. In fact, from the perspective of modern medicine, wisdom teeth are an inevitable part of human evolution. As we all know, "survival of the fittest" is a universal law in biological evolution. Wisdom teeth are a perfect example.

Is it harmful if wisdom teeth are not removed?

Yes, rotten wisdom teeth need to be removed immediately. Because this tooth has no chewing function, when the wisdom tooth decays, not to mention it affects other teeth, the root of the tooth still remains in the gums, and it may become infected and inflamed at any time, which will cause gum pain, poor eating, poor sleep, and poor work. It needs to be unplugged. Because the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

How to care for wisdom teeth and prevent them from getting inflamed

Wisdom teeth grow in different sizes according to the size of each person's mouth, and the space they grow in is different. There are also great differences in the wisdom teeth that grow out, especially impacted teeth. They are squeezed by the front teeth during the growth process and cannot grow out completely. In addition, the wisdom tooth is the most difficult part to clean, so it is easy to get inflamed repeatedly. Inflammation of wisdom teeth is very painful, and severe cases require wisdom tooth extraction surgery. So how can we avoid inflammation of wisdom teeth in our daily living habits?

Rinse your mouth after meals: Wisdom teeth grow at the innermost part of the mouth, which is the easiest place to hide dirt and grime, and it is difficult to clean with our normal brushing. Various impurities are easily accumulated inside, and the impurities will produce bacteria over time, and bacteria will cause inflammation of the wisdom teeth. Therefore, we must brush our teeth correctly in the morning and evening, and rinse our mouths with clean water after eating sweets or meals to maintain oral hygiene and not allow food residues to remain in the mouth.

Picking teeth: Many people do not recommend picking teeth in our daily life, but if you have wisdom teeth, you must pick your teeth, and you must pick your teeth very seriously. The tools for picking teeth must be disposable, clean and disposable tools. Every time you eat crude fiber food, if you find foreign objects in the wisdom tooth area, you must remove them immediately, because some fiber food residues will be stuck in the gaps between teeth and will remain for a long time. If they are not removed in time, the residues will cause bleeding gums and other symptoms in the future. Over time, it will cause inflammation of the gums, which will lead to inflammation of the wisdom teeth. (But be careful not to damage your gums when picking your teeth)

Dietary taboos: If you find that you cannot eat high-sugar and very sour foods when you are growing wisdom teeth, this is because eating sugar and sour foods will affect the normal growth of wisdom teeth. The sugar residue in the mouth will produce acid, and the acid will damage the protective layer on the surface of the teeth, causing the teeth to grow deformed or cause caries, which is also the main cause of wisdom tooth inflammation.

Inflammation pain treatment: If the wisdom tooth is already inflamed, we should not panic first, we should maintain a good attitude. If the wisdom tooth is very painful, we can use boiling water at about 37 degrees to add an appropriate amount of table salt, stir it thoroughly and then use it to gargle. Each gargling time is about 1 minute. You can hold the water and let the water stay in the mouth for a while before spitting it out. Gargling 5-6 times for one minute each time and gargling for 5 minutes after each meal is very helpful in relieving pain and recovery.

Cold compress to relieve pain: Applying ice cubes to the painful tooth is also a good way to relieve pain. If you can't stand the stimulation of ice cubes, you can first put the ice cubes at the base of the chin, which is the location of the wisdom teeth, to adapt to the temperature before putting them in the mouth. However, you must use clean ice cubes for this work, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

If the wisdom tooth is severely inflamed, we can use 1%~3% hydrogen peroxide solution and normal saline to repeatedly rinse the gum pocket to remove pus, bacteria, food debris, etc. in the gum pocket until the overflowing fluid is clear.

Precautions

Hygienic disposable items are very important. When we use items, we must use hygienic and qualified disposable items.

When cleaning your gums, you should not swallow the cleaning solution into your esophagus, you know.
