Wisdom teeth are inside the gums

Wisdom teeth grow inside the gums. In fact, this is a misunderstanding among many friends about wisdom teeth. In fact, wisdom teeth are the innermost teeth, but the conditions of each friend’s wisdom teeth are different, including some friends who will not grow wisdom teeth at all. If wisdom teeth grow horizontally, other teeth will be subjected to crowding pressure, which may cause tooth deformities, so they need to be extracted in time.

Wisdom teeth are the innermost teeth of our teeth, and there is one wisdom tooth in both the upper and lower rows. Generally speaking, if we don’t have wisdom teeth, we have a total of 28 teeth. If we have wisdom teeth, we will have 32 teeth. Wisdom teeth start to grow slowly at the age of 20. When wisdom teeth grow, there is generally a slight sore feeling. Some friends’ wisdom teeth become deformed and affect the surrounding teeth, which leads to very painful consequences. In this case you need to go to the hospital to have it removed. Although some wisdom teeth may grow crooked, most wisdom teeth actually grow normally. Therefore, whether or not wisdom teeth need to be treated depends mainly on whether the growth direction and position of wisdom teeth are normal.

Generally speaking, it may take a month or even several years for wisdom teeth to grow, which depends on each person's physical condition. For some people, wisdom teeth grow very quickly, so you may start to see the teeth after a month. For some people, wisdom teeth grow slowly and it may take half a year or even a year. Normally, if we see the gums above the wisdom teeth are curled up, it means that the wisdom teeth are growing and squeezing the gums at the original position. If you encounter this situation, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination and treatment, and clean off the excess gum flesh to leave room for the wisdom teeth to grow. You should know that if not treated, the gums will easily become inflamed due to long-term compression, so don't ignore the abnormal condition of the gums curling up.

Generally speaking, if the wisdom teeth are not growing crooked, you may only feel some soreness or even no feeling at all. On the contrary, if the growth of wisdom teeth makes people feel painful, it is very likely that the wisdom teeth have grown crookedly. For example, they may grow horizontally and cause squeezing pain on the surrounding teeth. Therefore, if you experience unbearable pain when your wisdom teeth are growing, it is recommended that you go to the hospital to check the condition of your wisdom teeth in time.
