Wisdom teeth growing horizontally do not necessarily need to be extracted, depending on whether they affect the surrounding dental tissues or the dental row, if they are not harmful, they can be removed. If the wisdom tooth growing horizontally is far away from the neighboring teeth in front, it is buried and has no tendency to erupt, and will not press on the normal tooth tissue next to it, it is more difficult to remove this kind of wisdom tooth and the risk of extraction is higher, and it is easy to cause damage to the inferior alveolar nerve. If the wisdom tooth growing horizontally has led to pericoronitis, or if the wisdom tooth is on top of the front teeth, leading to root resorption and tooth decay of the front teeth, or if the wisdom tooth needs to be removed due to orthodontic treatment, it is recommended to go to the dentistry department of the hospital in time and dispose of it according to the specific situation. In short, no matter whether patients have wisdom teeth or not, they should pay attention to dental care in daily life, maintain good oral hygiene, develop good hygiene habits of brushing teeth in the morning and evening, rinsing mouth after meals, and go to dental institutions regularly to do a more comprehensive examination of their oral conditions, and if problems are found, they should be dealt with early.
