What should I do if my wisdom teeth grow crooked

Wisdom teeth grow crooked. In fact, this is what we call wisdom teeth. When wisdom teeth grow, it is easy to cause tooth decay, or invade adjacent teeth, causing discomfort or pain. Therefore, if you want to solve the problem effectively, it is recommended to remove the wisdom teeth.

1. Wisdom teeth, also known as impacted teeth, refer to the eighth teeth that erupt after the age of 16-21 or have not yet erupted. As the size of the human jawbone has become smaller during the evolution process, there is often not enough jawbone space for wisdom teeth to erupt, resulting in abnormal position and direction of wisdom teeth after they erupt. Not only do wisdom teeth have no chewing function, but they also pose a series of hazards or potential hazards. If your wisdom teeth often have inflammatory reactions, it is recommended that you remove them as soon as possible.

2. Based on the following reasons, it is recommended to remove wisdom teeth:

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

2. Invasion of adjacent teeth: Usually the patient is unaware of the disease, but the dentist finds it out through X-ray diagnosis. 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.

3. Insufficient space: Wisdom teeth have been extinct in the history of human evolution. As a result, the dental arches are getting smaller and smaller, and lack of space is common. The swelling and pain are most noticeable when the tumor breaks out. Many people decide to have their wisdom teeth removed because they cannot tolerate the pain.

4. 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.

5. No opposing teeth: As mentioned earlier, 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.
