Why wisdom teeth? How does long wisdom tooth gum swelling do?

Wisdom tooth refers to the third molar in the human oral cavity, which is the innermost one on the alveolar bone. Because these four molars just begin to sprout at about 20, people's physiological and psychological development is close to maturity, so it is regarded as the coming of wisdom, so it is called 'wisdom tooth'. It is the tooth closest to the throat in the oral cavity! What's the attention of wisdom tooth What's the matter? Is wisdom tooth toothache good or bad? Let's talk about it in a simple way!

Operation method

01

Time difference:

Generally, the wisdom teeth begin to sprout around the age of 20, but there are great individual differences in the growth of wisdom teeth. Some people will grow before the age of 20, while some people will only grow before the age of 40 or 50, and some people will not even grow all their lives. These are normal!

02

On the number of wisdom teeth:

In one's life, only the third one on the top, bottom, left and right of the innermost alveolar bone will grow in four positions, that is, four at most! But not all wisdom teeth will grow completely. Some people's wisdom teeth may only grow 1-2, and even some wisdom teeth will not grow again when they grow to half. This situation is called wisdom teeth impacted, that is, impacted teeth!

03

How to distinguish?

The location of wisdom teeth starts from the gap between the incisors. Count the number of teeth in one incisor. If there is an eighth tooth, it is wisdom teeth!

Wisdom teeth can be said that human evolution is inevitable, usually in the human mind has become mature will grow!

04

Wisdom teeth can help us chew food, to a certain extent, contribute a lot;

05

What's troubling about that??

Because of the special growth position of wisdom teeth, it is not easy to clean the teeth, and it is easy to produce tooth decay. Because of the lack of germination space, wisdom teeth tend to swell, and also invade the clinical teeth, causing toothache;

06

Because there is no opposite teeth, sometimes wisdom teeth will germinate excessively and then affect occlusion, sometimes they will germinate insufficiently and become impacted teeth, resulting in uneven dentition, infection of pericoronary space and difficulty in opening mouth;

So once the impacted teeth grow, we must go to the regular hospital for extraction!

07

Because wisdom tooth is the third largest molar, it has a very important impact on the adjacent second molar. Because most wisdom teeth are impacted by anterior debridement, they will form an angle of about 45 degrees on the second molar, so as to form a subcrown angle, which is easy to insert food. As time goes on, they will form caries of the second molar, and even pulpitis, which will affect the life of the second molar!
