How should wisdom teeth be extracted?

First of all, apply anesthetic near wisdom teeth to ensure that the tooth extraction process will not be painful. According to the position of wisdom teeth on the X-ray film, make an opening in the gum. Split the wisdom tooth in half with a high-speed needle and take out the exposed crown. The root inside is deep, so it should be divided into two halves. Sometimes the bone it binds is so tight that it can only be pulled out after a few knocks. The wound is not very big in the process, so you can stop the bleeding with gauze first.

Secondly, wisdom teeth are not pulled out with a hammer. At present, there are more minimally invasive tooth extraction, so the wound is very small, which can prevent infection. It is not as violent as using a hammer before, and the pain of the wound after operation may be more severe. Of course, minimally invasive tooth extraction will also hurt, but it is much better and recovers quickly.

Thirdly, no matter what kind of tooth extraction method is used, it should be cleaned and disinfected before tooth extraction, and the inflammation should be cured after one week. It's not too late to have your teeth pulled out. Try to reduce the risk of infection as much as possible. If the wound is big, it should be stitched up. After tooth extraction, if the pain is unbearable, you can take ibuprofen.

Finally, let's get to know wisdom teeth again. Its common diseases are dental caries, periodontitis and pulpitis. Because wisdom teeth grow in the innermost part of the jaw, it is difficult to clean, and it is easy to produce dental caries. Moreover, wisdom teeth often swell and ache because of insufficient growth space, and will invade adjacent teeth, leading to toothache. Because some wisdom teeth don't bite, sometimes wisdom teeth grow excessively, which affects occlusion and causes temporomandibular joint dysfunction; Sometimes it will become an impacted tooth due to insufficient growth, resulting in uneven dentition and pericoronal space infection. Wisdom teeth are the third molars, which have an important influence on the adjacent second molars. The shape of mandible determines that most wisdom teeth are impacted forward, and close to the second molar at an angle of about 45 degrees, forming a crown angle, which is easy to insert food, leading to dental caries and even pulpitis of the second molar over time, affecting the life of the second molar.
