How to remove wisdom teeth and whether it should be done: advice and recommendations of experienced dentists

Everyone knows about wisdom teeth and often complains of pain when they erupt.So, let's find out what wisdom tooth is when they start to appear in a person and how to treat them properly.In its structure, wisdom teeth are no different from other multi-rooted neighbors.Doctors call them "eight" according to their location.

There are four or two of them in the bottom row on the sides and two on top of the bottom ones.By the way, all four can not cut through not all people, because the jaw can be smaller, and the chewing load on the jaw is reduced.Often the wisdom teeth do not erupt at all, although their beginnings are in everyone.

When wisdom teeth appear

The most common question that is associated with wisdom teeth is the age when they begin to appear.So, usually baby teeth change to permanent teeth in children from six to twelve years old, and wisdom teeth, as a rule, appear in adults aged 18-20 years, but this is not always the case.As mentioned earlier, they may not appear at all, but can erupt to 40 years, although such a late age in eruption is more likely an exception.

Most often, the wisdom teeth appear before the age of 27 .By this age, the development and growth of all human systems ceases, and their gradual withering begins.Wisdom teeth are called that way, because their appearance occurs during the period of a person's maturity, when he acquires all the luggage of vital "wisdom."

The timing of the emergence of wisdom teeth depends on which jaw the person is in size and whether there is room for human development.If the jaw is small and there is not enough room for the appearance of the tooth, then the growth will occur very slowly, and the seventh teeth will be pushed aside in the process of their growth.Sometimes the eruption of wisdom teeth can last from 3 months and up to 3 years depending on the constitution of the jaw .

When asked what functional significance they have, there is no single answer.Many believe that the eighth are no longer functions and are a rudiment.But in old age, when a person loses basic teeth, they can play the role of a support for prosthetics and be useful in chewing.

Than the eruption of wisdom teeth is accompanied: complications and pains

It is extremely rare to find a person whose teething wisdom has gone insensibly and painlessly.As a rule, a person is concerned with certain pains of .

For example, often the tissues located side by side are inflamed, with the gingiva, covered with a membrane, which dentists call the "hood" , appears on the gums.The solid food that a person absorbs, each time injures the tooth enamel and provokes the development of the inflammatory process.And if the particles of food fall under the "hood", the harmful organisms begin to multiply faster, which can lead to purulent inflammation - pericoronitis.

This disease is characterized by symptoms such as:

• increasing pain in the area of ​​incision;
• intense pain, giving off in whiskey or ears;
• pain when swallowing or yawning;
• painful sensations in the area of ​​the facial muscles;
• high temperature;
• headaches;
• edema on the aching tooth;
• appearance of pus on the mucosa in the oral cavity.

If there are pains in the area of ​​the wisdom tooth , it is absolutely not possible to take the following actions:

• do not warm the cheeks with a warming pad and do not apply heat - warming can provoke a faster growth of infection and suppuration of bone tissue;
• Do not put on the tooth enamel tablets for pain relief, so as not to cause an ulcer on the gum;
• do not follow this or that advice, because in some cases one action can help, and in another - only aggravate the current state.

Things to do before a visit to the dentist, if the gum develops during gum eruption:

1. Take an internal analgesic like ketanol.
2. Rinse mouth with a cold solution based on salt or soda.

In the clinic, the dental surgeon must open the "hood", release pus, rinse the cavity and prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics if necessary.If the inflammation occurs repeatedly, the doctor will most likely prescribe the removal of tooth wisdom.

Also, eruption can be accompanied by the following ailments:

1. Caries is one of the common diseases characteristic for eruption.Caries develops due to hard-to-locate eights and heavy hygiene.Very often wisdom teeth grow with damaged enamel and rudiments of caries.Due to the fact that often the wisdom teeth fit tightly to the neighbors, caries can move on them.
2. Bite dysfunction and unevenness - because the wisdom tooth does not always have enough room for growth, it can pick up adjacent teeth, which causes deformation of all the forelegs, and this can disrupt the bite.
3. Pressure on adjacent teeth, causing a person to complain of dull pain, giving away to different parts of the body.If it does not grow properly, then it should be removed after shooting.
4. Inflammation of the branches of the trigeminal nerve - this condition is accompanied by pain in the face and twitching of some facial muscles, the cause of such attacks will be a touch to the face.All symptoms go away after removal of the aching tooth and subsequent anti-inflammatory measures.
5. Cyst of the jaw - it can be provoked by the slow growth of the wisdom tooth, sometimes this disease develops asymptomatically, and is detected accidentally while taking a picture of the jaw.However, if the cyst grows, the gum begins to hurt around the eight.In this case, the fluid accumulated in the cyst can corrode the tooth walls.In addition, the cyst can provoke a flux, due to which the eight is uniquely to be removed.
6. Wrong position of wisdom teeth.In some cases, wisdom teeth begin to grow on the cheek, which leads to constant pain and trauma in the area of ​​the mucous cheek during chewing, with the appearance of ulcers and long-term healing.And with healing, scars appear, which too can be constantly bruised with wisdom teeth and also permanently injured.All this can in the future lead to the appearance of a tumor, in such cases, teeth should also be removed.
