Is wisdom teeth easy to be pulled out from above or from below?

It is difficult to extract maxillary wisdom teeth or mandibular wisdom teeth clinically, and there is no clear answer, which requires specific tooth analysis. The upper jaw also has teeth that are very difficult to extract, and the lower jaw also has teeth that are very easy to extract.

Generally speaking, mandibular teeth are more difficult to pull out than maxillary teeth, which is mainly related to bone density. The maxilla is loose, the mandible is just within the oblique line of the mandible, and the bone is very dense, so it is difficult to extract the mandibular wisdom teeth.

However, because the maxillary wisdom teeth are located in the maxilla, the field of vision is sometimes not particularly clear, and when buried deeply, it is closely related to the maxillary sinus, and the risk of tooth extraction is also great.

Hidden dangers of wisdom teeth

Due to evolution, the length of mandible is not in harmony with the required length of teeth, which will cause our common wisdom teeth to be impacted (difficult to erupt).

The main manifestations of impaction are partial eruption and complete ambush. Of course, there are also a few people whose wisdom teeth can erupt completely. However, due to the very backward position, it is not easy to clean the teeth in place at ordinary times, and food residue remains, which is prone to dental caries and inflammation.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that wisdom teeth are easy to cause pericoronitis of wisdom teeth. The main manifestations of pericoronitis are swelling, discomfort, pain in swallowing and chewing, and even fever, inability to open your mouth, swelling and pain on one side of your face.

This situation generally occurs mainly in young people aged 18 ~ 30 who have sprouted wisdom teeth and friends who can't fully grow wisdom teeth. Some young female friends often occur around menstruation, when people's resistance is relatively low.

At first, many people felt that they had put up with it, of course, when the pain tolerance was relatively high and not so serious. Don't be careless at this time, you'd better go to the hospital in time.
