Harm of wisdom tooth extraction

The average person grows wisdom teeth around the age of 20. Some people think that wisdom teeth have no effect, and long wisdom teeth will have symptoms such as toothache and gum inflammation, which will seriously affect daily life. So many people have their wisdom teeth pulled out. However, many people worry that wisdom teeth will be harmful. Improper extraction of wisdom teeth will induce some dental diseases. The harm of wisdom tooth extraction mainly leads to pericoronitis of wisdom teeth, and some people induce pulpitis or loosening of adjacent teeth after wisdom tooth extraction. The hazards of wisdom tooth extraction are:

1, inducing pericoronitis of wisdom teeth:

Because the extraction of wisdom teeth will have local trauma (such as biting jaw teeth), these trauma can induce pericoronitis of wisdom teeth. Because the eruption of mandibular third molar (that is, wisdom teeth) often lacks sufficient position and is easy to form impaction, this situation is more common in wisdom teeth. Clinically, there are three common impactions: proximal impaction, horizontal impaction and vertical impaction. Therefore, it is easy to induce pericoronitis if there is no care after wisdom teeth are pulled out.

2, induced pulpitis:

Wisdom teeth are very harmful to people, which is easy to cause food impaction. This is because if a person's wisdom teeth can't grow to the normal position completely, food residues and bacteria can easily stay in the gap between the wisdom teeth and the adjacent teeth in front, which may easily lead to dental caries of the adjacent teeth in front of the wisdom teeth and may gradually develop into pulpitis.

3, lead to adjacent teeth loose:

The alveolar bone in the wisdom teeth is also easily absorbed, which leads to the loosening of the teeth in front of the wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth that can't erupt completely are prone to pericoronitis of wisdom teeth, which is prone to occur when they are tired and have low body resistance. Pericoronitis of wisdom teeth may recur. If the treatment is not active, it may form oral and maxillofacial space infection and cause adjacent teeth to loosen.

Long wisdom teeth are easy to cause pain and oral inflammation, and may also cause cheek swelling, or induce dental caries and jaw pain, but some people have wisdom teeth, and the symptoms are not affected. Therefore, if the position of wisdom teeth is not well observed by X-ray, it is the right choice to remove wisdom teeth, otherwise it will affect oral health.
