How do you look at wisdom teeth removal from a Chinese medicine point of view?

Wisdom teeth are called "true teeth" in Chinese medicine. It is written in "Su Wen - Shang Gu Tian Zhen Lun" that "Women are at the age of thirty-seven, their kidney qi is even, so their true teeth are born and grow to a great extent", and "Men are at the age of thirty-eight, their kidney qi is even, their muscles and bones are strong, so their true teeth are born and grow to a great extent". That is, boys usually grow wisdom teeth around 24 years old, while girls usually grow wisdom teeth around 21 years old, which is consistent with the actual situation.

The Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the main bone, and the teeth are the rest of the bone, and the strength of the kidney qi determines how good the teeth are. Kidney five elements are water, water is the main wisdom, the kidneys hide the will, kidney qi strong people, ambition, developed mind, which is one of the most important factors to determine the success or failure of life.

The problem with wisdom teeth is usually the lack of kidney qi, which may not grow out, or grow ugly, or grow and stop, or the enamel is particularly poor, it is easy to break. If you only see wisdom teeth pain, swollen gums, give anti-inflammatory drugs; only see the teeth grow bad, simply pull out. It should be a snowy, nourishing kidney qi, but fell into the well, pulling out the teeth hurt the kidneys. It is really lamentable.
