What to pay attention to the extraction of transverse wisdom teeth

Some wisdom teeth lie and grow, are buried under the gums, the outside can not be seen; the other is the wisdom teeth eruption age stage spanning a large; there are wisdom teeth caused by inflammation, but do not know what the situation. You may want to take a panoramic picture of your mouth so that you can see the various conditions of your wisdom teeth at a glance.

In general, the older you are, the more difficult it is to extract transverse wisdom teeth. This is because younger patients (generally before the age of 24) have relatively loose and soft bone and small roots that are particularly good at dislocating. With age, the roots of the teeth develop gradually thicker, the bone is relatively dense, accompanied by the teeth each year osteoid deposition (about 0.07mm per year), the extraction operation will increase the difficulty, be sure to fully communicate with the doctor.

Why do some wisdom teeth grow sideways? The total size of the teeth has not changed, but the jawbone has shrunk. At the same time, other teeth grow in before the wisdom teeth, crowding out the "big" wisdom teeth and causing them to grow in a way that is comfortable for them, so it is not surprising that the wisdom teeth grow sideways.

Wisdom teeth are a great threat to the oral cavity, as they can easily encroach on neighboring teeth and cause damage to them, which can lead to serious consequences in the long run. In addition, if the wisdom teeth repeatedly inflammation will cause tooth pain, resulting in bad smell in the mouth, so if the wisdom teeth horizontal growth is a must be removed.

Because of the hidden position of the wisdom teeth, incomplete eruption, poor hygiene around the crown of the tooth, the crown of the wisdom teeth is very easy to form cavities, and then develop into acute pulpitis, causing severe pain. In addition, there is often a narrow, deep gap between the wisdom teeth and the neighboring teeth, where food debris can easily be retained, and prolonged food retention can lead to caries or periodontitis in the neighboring teeth.
