In life, we have heard many people with wisdom teeth complain: "It's too painful to pull out their teeth, but I'm afraid it's even more painful to pull out their teeth!"
But some people said happily: "I have grown up, but I don't feel anything." Should I pull it out? "
Little wisdom teeth bring great distress to people. So, is it necessary to pull out wisdom teeth? Is tooth extraction particularly painful? Today, I will give you a detailed introduction to some common problems of wisdom teeth.
Some people may wonder: Why do others have to pull out wisdom teeth, and I don't even have one?
Don't worry, let's learn how wisdom teeth come from first.
In the era of apes and ancient humans, humans ate arboreal animal meat, plant tubers and so on. Because chewing is laborious, their jaws are larger, and the existence of wisdom teeth can increase the strength and frequency of chewing.
In the new century, human beings have changed to rice, noodles and other soft foods as the staple food, and do not need too much chewing power.
After a long time, the bite force becomes worse, the development of the jaw becomes smaller and smaller, the wisdom teeth begin to become irrelevant, the growth space becomes smaller, and it is more difficult for the wisdom teeth to "erupt".
Simply put, wisdom teeth are a biological trait abandoned in the process of human evolution, but they have not completely disappeared.
Wisdom teeth are mostly located in the innermost third molar of alveolar bone, that is, counting inward from the front teeth, and the eighth one is it, which usually appears at the age of16.
So should all wisdom teeth be pulled out?
Wang Zhiping, director of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Guangdong Stomatological Hospital, said that 80% of people suggested removal, especially in the following four cases:
But if it belongs to the following two situations, congratulations, you don't have to consider tooth extraction for the time being:
First, wisdom teeth have completely grown out, and they are straight, with good upper and lower occlusion, and there are no discomfort symptoms such as pain and inflammation.
Second, people who need to correct their teeth can move their wisdom teeth to a suitable position through correction.
Therefore, whether wisdom teeth should be pulled out depends on the face-to-face examination and X-ray examination of professional doctors before making a decision.
"Does tooth extraction hurt" is a topic that many people care about, and most of this fear comes from ignorance of tooth extraction process.
In fact, the process of wisdom tooth extraction is very simple, which is mainly divided into five steps:
First of all, give some anesthetic to make wisdom teeth "drunk and dream of death" and relax their vigilance;
Second, separate the gums from the teeth. If a tooth is buried in meat, a part of the gum must be cut off to expose the tooth.
Then I loosened my tooth and pulled it out. The last step is to scrape the alveolar fossa and remove the residue.
Does it look simple? So don't worry too much about the pain.
No one believes that it doesn't hurt, but it is basically anesthetized before it is pulled out, so it can really be painless when it is pulled out, or the pain is within an acceptable range.
Another thing to remind everyone is that not everyone can pull out wisdom teeth. Do not pull out wisdom teeth in the following situations:
Patients with hypertension, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, acute hepatitis, acute leukemia, hemophilia and recent symptoms of heart disease;
People such as menstrual period, the first three months of pregnancy, and long-term use of anticoagulant aspirin are not recommended to extract teeth to avoid accidents.
1, just half an hour before pulling out, bite a cotton ball to stop the bleeding.
Don't eat anything for 2 hours after unplugging.
Don't brush your teeth and rinse your mouth that day, and stay away from alcohol and tobacco.
4. 1 week, try to give priority to soft food, avoid spicy and hard food, and avoid chewing with the tooth extraction side.
Whether wisdom teeth need to be pulled out should be decided according to personal conditions, and qualified suggestions should be pulled out in time, otherwise various health problems may be caused.
As for the pain of tooth extraction, it is only temporary. Isn't it more annoying that wisdom teeth ache repeatedly? So, do it when it's time to do it.
