Sequelae of impacted wisdom tooth extraction

What are impacted wisdom teeth? In fact, impacted wisdom teeth are caused by our wisdom teeth growing crookedly and beyond the normal bite position. Once we have impacted wisdom teeth, it is recommended to remove them to avoid affecting the surrounding teeth. To remove impacted wisdom teeth, you must go to a professional dental hospital to avoid sequelae after the removal of impacted wisdom teeth. So, what are the sequelae of removing impacted wisdom teeth? Let’s take a look at it below.

The most commonly impacted teeth are the mandibular third molars, followed by the maxillary third molars and maxillary canines.

Disadvantages of impacted teeth:

The gums around the crown of the impacted tooth often become inflamed and painful. In severe cases, the cheeks may swell, the mouth may become difficult to open, and there may even be a fever all over the body and swollen lymph nodes under the forehead. Impacted teeth often cause symptoms such as caries, loosening, and alveolar bone absorption of adjacent teeth. Therefore, impacted teeth that can cause these lesions should be removed.

Removal of impacted teeth:

Because impacted teeth are positioned incorrectly and blocked by adjacent teeth, some may even be completely buried by bone tissue. Therefore, the extraction of impacted teeth is more difficult than other teeth. If they are covered by gums, the gums need to be cut; if they are embedded in bones, the bones need to be removed; if they are blocked by adjacent teeth, the crowns need to be split. Remove the fragment. Therefore, it takes a long time to extract impacted teeth.

People with wisdom teeth account for a large proportion of the society. Many people think that it is very uncomfortable once the wisdom teeth "get angry", so more and more people are keen to remove wisdom teeth. But in fact, there are certain dangers in extracting wisdom teeth, and we must take these dangers seriously. So what are the dangers of wisdom tooth extraction?

1. First of all, we all know that wisdom teeth may be impacted and have problems with the direction of teeth. They are often close to the maxillary canal, so that the mandibular canal nerve may be damaged when wisdom teeth are extracted, but the probability of this happening is very small.

2. After wisdom teeth are extracted, problems such as post-extraction bleeding, extraction pain, infection, etc. may occur. These are basically the same as the symptoms that occur after common tooth extractions. However, if you feel pain for a long time or bleed too much after tooth extraction, you should seek medical attention in time.

3. Some people feel pain when wisdom teeth grow. You can go to the oral department of the hospital and be examined by the doctor. If there is swollen and painful gums next to the wisdom teeth, you should first receive infusion treatment and antibiotic treatment. Only after the inflammation is gone should you choose to remove the wisdom teeth.
