Today, let's discuss it. You have such a wisdom tooth in your mouth. Do you need to pull it out?
Let's be specific.
Number one? Correct answer: Not necessarily.
Wisdom tooth refers to the innermost third molar tooth on alveolar bone in human mouth, which is just the eighth tooth from the central incisor. Because it broke out very late, it usually broke out between 16 and 25 years old. At this time, people's physical and psychological development is close to maturity, which symbolizes the arrival of wisdom, so it is commonly known as "wisdom teeth". In the growth of wisdom teeth, there are great differences among individuals. Usually there should be four teeth that are symmetrical up and down, some have less than four or none, and very few people will have more than four teeth. The eruption age also varies greatly. Some people break out before the age of 20, while others are in their forties or fifties or have a short life span. This is normal.
There are two possibilities for the evolution of the second wisdom tooth: first, in the process of human evolution from apes, the mandibular volume becomes smaller and there is no mandibular space for wisdom teeth; Second, it may be related to oral hygiene. It is common for ancient adults to have only a few or most of their teeth fall off. At this time, just grow wisdom teeth can play a role. Modern stomatology is developed and nutritious. Everyone has the habit of brushing their teeth, and they can also treat tooth decay before their teeth fall off. Therefore, unless there is an accident, adult teeth will generally remain intact and wisdom teeth will become redundant. Because there is no room for growth, wisdom teeth often feel pain when they grow, and their position and direction will be abnormal after eruption. Most people's wisdom teeth have no chewing function and no occlusion. In other words, wisdom teeth are generally redundant and are considered as trace organs.
Third, if you are in the position of a doctor, he will generally advise you to unplug it to avoid future troubles, so it is a painful and lifelong immunity. However, if you think wisdom teeth are not in the way, then you can decide whether to pull them out or not.
