Do wisdom teeth have to be pulled out?

If the transverse wisdom tooth has been pushed out of the gum, it can be seen by the naked eye and must be removed.

As long as the gums are pushed out, it is very likely that food residue will enter the gap between the gums and teeth when eating, which is beyond the reach of brushing teeth, and then it will be red and swollen, the body temperature will rise, and it will be very painful to sleep at night. In addition, the front and back teeth will be decayed, and the normal big teeth will be difficult to protect.

There are three major risks in pulling out this wisdom tooth:

1, deep trauma: Due to the lateral length of the teeth, it is necessary to saw off a part of the bones (which varies from person to person), expose the teeth, and then take them out in several parts. This kind of wound is deep and will heal slowly, depending on how long your roots are.

2, there may be nerve damage: because the root of wisdom teeth is close to the facial nerve (specifically the right half of the lower lip), the nerve may be affected during tooth extraction, and the sequela is numbness of the right lower lip. But the doctor told me that this is not permanent, and it will usually recover in a few months to a year or two.

3, the risk of infection: this is what any tooth extraction patient has to face, but I think as long as you follow the doctor's advice, do a good job of hygiene, take medicine on time, there is not much problem if you don't die.

The most important thing is to go to the dentist often for examination and tooth cleaning. After all, dental health should not be underestimated, especially for young people who want to start a better life.
