Does the tooth have to be extracted?

Impacted teeth are commonly known as wisdom teeth. Its scientific name is Jintouya. Generally speaking, people may grow strong teeth between the ages of 25 and 35. Strong teeth can cause various pains in the originally "harmonious" mouth, and it is generally believed that they need to be extracted in time. If it is not removed in time, it will not only cause a series of oral problems and pain, but may also invade other teeth, causing tooth decay, etc.

1. Invasion of adjacent teeth

Usually the patient is unaware of the condition, but the dentist finds it out through X-rays. Usually there is not enough space for the wisdom teeth to erupt, and they will fall on the second molars, making it difficult to clean the second molars, or even causing partial absorption of the teeth, causing discomfort or toothache for the patient.

2. Tooth decay

If wisdom teeth have cavities, except for very simple cavities on the occlusal surface that are not deep, which can be filled, we recommend extraction for those cavities on the adjacent surfaces that require very good technology, as well as those that are very deep and even require root canal treatment to prevent future problems.

3. Difficult to clean

Due to lack of space, wisdom teeth often grow crookedly, making it difficult to clean the teeth and leading to tooth decay.

4. No opposing teeth

As mentioned before, not everyone will have all four wisdom teeth grow. Therefore, if there is no competing wisdom tooth opposite the wisdom tooth, the wisdom tooth may over-erupt and affect the bite.

5. Impacted teeth

This is usually the most annoying type. Dentists find it difficult to deal with, but patients may not feel it and therefore ignore it. This type of tooth is usually buried in the alveolar bone and needs to be extracted if it hurts or if a lesion is diagnosed.
