Can wisdom teeth be removed?

Many people have experienced growing wisdom teeth. For some people, wisdom teeth have no effect on themselves, but once the pain occurs, it is very uncomfortable, sour and painful, which makes people very uncomfortable. They are afraid that it would be a waste of the tooth if they extract it, but if they don’t extract it, it will cause damage to other teeth. Some people will forget about it and ignore it once the pain is gone. Let’s take a look at whether wisdom teeth can be extracted.

Wisdom teeth may be impacted in the jawbone or may not erupt at all. Or it may cause crowding or displacement of other teeth, resulting in local tooth decay, infection or gum pain. The position of impacted wisdom teeth in the jawbone is also abnormal, and sometimes they are even impacted horizontally. In this case it is best to remove it. In addition, if the pain is unbearable, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment. In other cases, it is best not to extract wisdom teeth, as they are located at the innermost part of the mouth and are the most difficult to operate. Improper operation may be harmful. Using anesthetics is not a good thing either.

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 there is insufficient space for the eruption of wisdom teeth, and they will fall on the second molars, making it difficult to clean the second molars, or even partially absorbed, causing discomfort or toothache to the patient.

3. Insufficient space: Because wisdom teeth come out late, there is no extra space for them to take root. Therefore, when they come out, they will squeeze the adjacent teeth and cause swollen gums and 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: Some people only grow one wisdom tooth, while others grow several. When the wisdom tooth comes out, there may be no corresponding teeth to bite, resulting in abnormal bite.

Do not lick wisdom teeth with your tongue; massage, rub the inside of your face gently, until it hurts a little, about 40 to 50 times a day, and the pain will be relieved after a few days; be sure to rinse your mouth after meals, preferably with salt water; eat some heat-clearing foods (bitter melon, lotus seeds, etc.), chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle; if the pain is severe, you can also take some anti-inflammatory drugs; apply some ice cubes to the red and swollen areas to relieve the pain.
