Growing wisdom teeth may indirectly cause breathing problems due to infection.
Wisdom teeth belong to the third permanent molar and are the latest teeth to erupt. Some people may be asymptomatic when wisdom teeth grow in, but some people are prone to malposition or obstruction due to lack of space in the mouth, and often experience symptoms such as toothache. And when the body’s resistance drops, or the local gingival flap is traumatized, or the virulence of bacteria increases, the balance between the body and the bacteria is broken, leading to the occurrence of pericoronitis.
Wisdom tooth pericoronitis often leads to redness, swelling and pain in the soft tissues around the wisdom tooth, and may spread downward, causing serious perimandibular gap infection, osteomyelitis of the jawbone, and generalized sepsis, which can lead to breathing problems. Therefore, wisdom teeth may indirectly cause breathing problems.
However, it is important to note that poor breathing is not necessarily caused by wisdom teeth, but may be caused by other reasons such as lung or bronchial diseases. When you have wisdom teeth, you should pay more attention to the observation, if there is inflammation and other uncomfortable symptoms, you should also consult a doctor in time, by the doctor’s guidance for targeted treatment.
