Is it good to extract wisdom teeth? Does it have any impact?

The time when wisdom teeth grow in each person's mouth is different. Some people will never grow wisdom teeth in their entire life, but for the vast majority of people, they will grow wisdom teeth. Moreover, many people are troubled by the symptoms of wisdom tooth inflammation, because food debris is easily left around the wisdom teeth, leading to improper oral hygiene and causing wisdom tooth inflammation. So some people will choose to remove wisdom teeth. Does removing wisdom teeth have any impact on oral health?

Do wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Most wisdom teeth erupt after puberty, some may be earlier, some may be later, and some may not even grow at all. There is nothing wrong with wisdom teeth themselves, and they are no different from other permanent teeth. The problem lies in the location and time of its eruption. Since the permanent teeth have already occupied the advantageous terrain, the eruption of the wisdom teeth will be impacted to varying degrees, which is what we often say as not being able to grow to the normal position, thus bringing a series of problems.

In many people's impressions, tooth extraction is a very painful thing, so they will delay it as much as possible. If they really can't delay it, they will go to the hospital for treatment. In fact, when it comes to situations like wisdom teeth, "delaying" will only increase the difficulty of treatment and may even bring great health risks to yourself. Therefore, if you find that wisdom teeth cannot erupt normally, they must be extracted early.

If abnormalities are discovered during the early eruption of wisdom teeth, tooth extraction is relatively simple at this time. This is mainly because the roots of wisdom teeth have not yet fully formed and the alveolar bone is relatively elastic, so the tooth extraction operation is relatively simple. However, if the wisdom teeth have already formed and the roots are found to be curved, it will be more difficult to remove them and the risk will also increase.

The best age to remove wisdom teeth

Some people may ask, is there a best age to extract wisdom teeth? Some experts point out that 13 to 30 years old is the best time to extract wisdom teeth. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to extract wisdom teeth before the age of 30. Extracting them after the age of 40 will increase the trauma. Many people only come to have their wisdom teeth removed when they have no choice. Some elderly people even come to have their wisdom teeth removed when they are over 80 years old. However, they are often unable to have their wisdom teeth removed due to their physical condition. By then, the problems caused by the wisdom teeth are difficult to completely eradicate, and sometimes even affect the elderly's ability to wear dentures, seriously impairing their quality of life. Some wisdom teeth have caused the surrounding teeth to decay, and then two or three teeth have to be extracted together, which will cause even greater damage. In principle, once wisdom teeth are found to be underdeveloped, they should be removed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future.

Experts also proposed the best plan for treating wisdom teeth. Between the ages of 12 and 18, it is best to go to the hospital for a "physical examination" to check the development of wisdom teeth so that they can be diagnosed and treated early. At that time, the roots of wisdom teeth have not yet formed. Early surgery will minimize trauma and will benefit you throughout your life. In addition, it is best to remove impacted wisdom teeth that may cause disease before pregnancy.
