Treat wisdom teeth when it’s time to do it

The full name of wisdom teeth is "wisdom teeth", which usually erupt between the ages of 20 and 25.

At this time, people's intelligence and psychology are more mature, so it is given such a name. Doesn't it sound good?
However, it is these teeth, which symbolize wisdom, that have stumped many heroes.

First of all, it should be made clear that not everyone will grow wisdom teeth. Some people's wisdom teeth will never erupt throughout their lives, which can be said to be very enviable. Different people grow wisdom teeth at different ages. Generally speaking, four wisdom teeth will grow at a certain age. But it is not absolute. Some people will grow one, and some people will grow two. It all depends on the mood of the wisdom teeth.

If human teeth are divided into four areas, upper, lower, left and right, each area will have eight teeth, and wisdom teeth are located in the eighth position.
Because of their location, food is easily trapped in the wisdom teeth, and it is difficult to clean them on a daily basis. Over time, they will break down. Therefore, although wisdom teeth are the last to grow, they are most likely to be "sacrificed" first. If that were the case, you would just need to pay attention to daily cleaning and pay attention when brushing your teeth. Normally grown wisdom teeth, with perfect occlusion between the upper and lower teeth, can be left as a tool for chewing. Who can complain about having too many teeth? However, most wisdom teeth are not so "obedient".

Due to evolutionary reasons, the space in the human mouth has become smaller and there is no room for extra wisdom teeth.
However, wisdom teeth will not give up, they will squeeze out the growth space of other teeth, and "run rampant", which is what we often call impacted teeth. If such "crooked" wisdom teeth are not dealt with quickly, the adjacent teeth will be squeezed and damaged by them, and then it will not be as simple as extracting a wisdom tooth. Therefore, when wisdom teeth appear, you can go to a regular hospital first, take a dental X-ray, and let the doctor judge the growth of the wisdom teeth and decide whether they need to be extracted.

There is a high probability of swelling and pain during the growth of wisdom teeth. When brushing teeth or eating, a slight touch is enough to make a seven-foot man cry on the spot. When nothing happens, you don’t even think about the existence of wisdom teeth. Only when they swell and hurt do you want to go to the hospital quickly. This indicates that there is a local infection around the teeth, so do not choose to remove wisdom teeth at this time, which may cause wound infection. You can take antibiotics and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and it will not be too late to remove them after the inflammation is gone. Some wisdom teeth are not fully exposed, and the dentist needs to cut open the gums and "violently remove" the wisdom teeth. Other teeth are extremely stubborn and may not be removed by the roots.

These scenes have discouraged countless people, who thought that it was just wisdom teeth, and that they could just bear with it and it would pass. However, this has planted hidden dangers for the future.
When it comes to wisdom teeth, you should follow the principle of "short pain is worse than long pain" and do it when it's time. Moreover, those who have had experience know that the most painful moment of wisdom tooth extraction is when the anesthesia is injected. Except that you need to open your mouth wider and feel a little tired, it's really no big deal.
