I have 4 wisdom teeth that are constantly inflamed and I don’t know if it’s a good idea to have them removed.

Patient: Description of condition (onset time, main symptoms, hospitalization, etc.): I started to grow wisdom teeth when I was 19 years old, the first one was at the end of the lower left tooth, and then in the third year there was another one at the back of the lower right tooth, which was often inflamed and had a bad smell, and then last year there was one on the top left and right side, but the two on the top didn’t get inflamed! Is it better to remove it or keep it? Is it better to remove it or keep it? Duan Jin, Department of Stomatology, Huzhou Central Hospital: Whether or not to remove the blocked wisdom teeth depends mainly on whether or not the blocked wisdom teeth jeopardize the health of the body: abnormal occlusion, excessive eruption to the buccal side, swelling and pain, and may also cause cervical resorption of the adjacent teeth (as seen in X-rays), etc. If the teeth are in the correct position and are in close proximity to the adjacent teeth, then it is important to remove them. If the teeth are in good position and in occlusal contact with the opposite teeth, they can be retained. In some cases, pericoronitis of the wisdom tooth occurs, but if the gums are partially removed (the part of the gums that prevents the tooth from erupting), it can be cured, and then the blocked tooth is no longer blocked and can be retained. If, however, an obstructed wisdom tooth needs to be removed, then it is best to remove it as early as possible. Female patients, need to avoid menstruation.
