Should wisdom teeth be extracted?

Wisdom teeth, a bug-like existence in the history of human evolution, will one day, like a tail, evolve and disappear from the human body. When the wisdom tooth erupts, if it is willing to honestly bury itself in the bone, or grows up and down to the correct position, it does not need to be dealt with. Once it is unbalanced inside, against the front teeth, or always inflamed, it needs to be considered for extraction, such as in the following cases: 1. The wisdom tooth is tilted against the front teeth. It must be extracted, otherwise the front teeth will be squeezed out …… 2, wisdom tooth eruption caused by gum redness and inflammation in this case should wait until the inflammation is eliminated, then pull the wisdom tooth …… 3.When the wisdom tooth does not have a pair of biting teeth, consider extracting it, otherwise it will grow longer and longer and bite directly on the gums. 4.When there is a cavity in the wisdom tooth Because wisdom tooth is not easy to clean, it is easy to produce cavity, so it should be extracted as soon as possible. To pull or not to pull wisdom teeth? Clinically, a professional dentist should check whether wisdom teeth should be extracted or not before making a decision. Especially for buried wisdom teeth, which are not yet fully grown and are completely buried under the gums, a full-mouth x-ray should be taken first to see the growth position and eruption direction of the teeth before deciding whether to pull them or not. For example, here are a few full-mouth curved films to give you an analysis: full-mouth X-ray curved films (a) physician’s analysis: “the right jaw wisdom tooth tilted, has begun to resist the front of a molar, at this time should be extracted as soon as possible, otherwise the front of the tooth will be more and more loose, until it falls off.” Full-mouth X-ray curved section (II) physician’s analysis: “The wisdom tooth in the right lower jaw can be considered for extraction after the tooth is fully erupted because there is no pair of biting teeth; the wisdom tooth in the left lower jaw, which is offset, is against the root of the front molar and should be extracted as soon as possible, otherwise the wisdom tooth will grow longer and longer and will crowd out the front molar.” The wisdom tooth on the left side of the lower jaw is growing vertically, so it should be removed as soon as possible. In fact, “wisdom teeth” are not our functional teeth, and removing them will not have any impact on our lives. As long as you go to a professional dentist, there will be no problem at all. Therefore, if your wisdom tooth is always inflamed, painful, red and swollen, then it should be extracted, do not keep “teeth” as a problem.
