How to remove wisdom teeth by yourself

If wisdom teeth grow in the wrong position, it will not only affect oral health, but will also cause pain, redness, swelling, and tooth distortion, seriously affecting your life. The best way to solve the problem of wisdom teeth is to remove them. Some people think that wisdom teeth can be removed and they can solve the problem themselves, but they must pay attention to oral hygiene and disinfection, otherwise it is easy to cause bacterial infection.

Methods/Steps

Tooth extraction should be done in the morning after meals, especially wisdom teeth, which are relatively large and close to the mouth, and may cause heavy bleeding. For safety reasons, doctors generally recommend performing the surgery in the morning. Women should not have teeth extracted during menstruation.

First, judge whether your wisdom tooth is normal based on its appearance. If it is arranged normally like other teeth, it is relatively simple. Just go to step 4, give anesthesia, extract the tooth, and stop the bleeding.

For abnormally positioned teeth, refer to the third statement.

Solemn statement: Wisdom teeth that grow horizontally or in other complex positions must first be filmed to check the position of the roots. It is often necessary to perform surgery to cut the gums before extraction, and because the surgical incision is relatively large, special attention must be paid to avoid excessive bleeding and possible swelling of the face after the operation. In this case, it is recommended to consult a doctor and listen to the doctor's advice. Here we only discuss the steps for removing wisdom teeth in normal position and arrangement, which is not applicable to complex situations.

Moving on to the second point, to ensure the normal arrangement, lie down on the operating table as required by the doctor, who will then give your gums one or two injections of anesthetic.

After the anesthetic takes effect, use medical tools such as tweezers and surgical hammer to push aside the gums around the tooth, loosen the tooth and pull it out. It usually only takes a few minutes, depending on the patient's cooperation^_~.

There is basically no pain during the tooth extraction process, but if the tooth is already rotten, it will be a little painful. I don’t know the principle, but the doctor told me this when I had 4 wisdom teeth extracted. If you know, please leave a comment.

After the tooth extraction is completed, the doctor will press a hemostatic cotton ball on the wound and ask you to bite it. You will need to stay in the hospital for half an hour to observe in case of heavy bleeding. If you feel everything is fine, you can leave directly. Remember not to eat anything within 2 hours, especially hot food.

If there are other wisdom teeth that need to be extracted, the interval is generally one per week. The cost of ordinary wisdom teeth is also relatively cheap. The editor estimates that each tooth is less than 200 yuan.

People who have had many wisdom teeth removed and previously had crowded teeth often have their gums slowly shrink a little bit.

If you have a little buck teeth, this will be a pleasant surprise. Of course, this won’t happen if the wisdom teeth are loosely arranged. Generally, when wisdom teeth grow out, they will crowd other teeth, so after the gums are extracted, they will of course shrink back a few millimeters.

In addition, my experience is that the face will be thinner after the wisdom teeth are removed if they are located outside. Some people's cheeks may be a little sunken. It all depends on their own situation. Some people are born with sunken cheeks. If they remove 4 wisdom teeth in total like me, their face will become more sunken and look older. This is why some people become beautiful after tooth extraction and correction, while some people have beautiful teeth but ugly faces after tooth extraction and correction.
