"Don't pull your wisdom teeth all at once" on the hot search, doctor: wisdom teeth are like "scum"

To this end, the red star news invited the first people's hospital in Chengdu City, stomatology doctor, Sichuan University, West China College of Stomatology stomatology doctor Ji Bao Hui, for everyone to explain the knowledge of wisdom teeth extraction.

Red Star News: wisdom teeth need to be removed?

Ji Baohui: Most wisdom teeth need to be removed. Because wisdom teeth may bring a variety of diseases, this disease will not be found in the short term, but with the accumulation of time, at a certain point in time will appear symptoms, the most common is inflammation and pain, eating stuff, pericoronitis, intermittent infection. In addition, wisdom teeth do not have much effect on people, but rather sooner or later will bring some hidden dangers.

Some wisdom teeth are easy to find, and some people do not see wisdom teeth in their mouths, thinking that they can not be removed, but the invisible ones are likely to be the most dangerous, and it is possible that they are in the deep part of the teeth.

There are also wisdom teeth that do not produce symptoms, do not appear to eat hot and cold sensitivity and other problems, it is equivalent to a healthy tooth, then can be temporarily retained. Why is it temporary? Because some people can not do a good job of cleaning for a long time, may not be able to maintain the age of 60, then you need to pull out, but at this time the body's tolerance and trauma response may be different, so we need to do a good job of preventing and eliminating hidden problems.

Many people say that wisdom teeth are like "scum" that hurt you over and over again, and if you don't get them out, they will haunt you for the rest of your life. It's true that wisdom teeth are really "scum", and the harm is really a bit big.

Therefore, the medical purpose to check as early as possible, if the doctor recommended to pull out, to pull out as early as possible, it is best to nip the problem in the bud. And removing wisdom teeth also produces a better quality of life.

Red Star News: when is the best time to remove wisdom teeth?

Ji Baohui: It is recommended to remove wisdom teeth if they have cavities, cause lesions on neighboring teeth, cause severe pain, are too long without bite, or cause other oral diseases.

Age group, it is recommended that the first checkup should be done at the age of 20, and it is best to remove the wisdom teeth at the age of 25, 26 years old, and also before the age of 30. The reason is that when you are young and have your wisdom teeth extracted, your body's tolerance is better and it is less difficult to extract them. The older you get, the harder the bone becomes and the more difficult and painful it is to remove. For example, pulling weeds in the land and pulling weeds in the concrete, the feeling is different.

Red Star News: Do wisdom teeth need to be extracted all at once? Let's say four at a time.

Ji Baohui: There is no strict medical limit on how many can be extracted at one time, but it is not recommended to remove 4 at one time.

First of all, extraction is a kind of trauma, and the most intuitive reaction is pain, and the more teeth extracted, the stronger the pain may be in theory. The more teeth that are extracted, the more painful it can be in theory. Routinely, the majority of healthy people can withstand the extraction of 4 teeth at once, but wisdom teeth are different from normal teeth.

Secondly, 4 wisdom teeth are on both sides of the mouth, and when they are removed at the same time, there is pain, drooling, and some blood, which can make it difficult to eat.

In addition, there is the difficulty of care, because after meals can not avoid producing food debris, there is always a link to clean the teeth. 4 wisdom teeth at the same time, there will be 4 holes, in the care of the operation will not be easy, and some people are prone to bleeding, care is not good, but also prone to cause inflammation, swelling, pain, and so on. Some people after the extraction of the wound kept bleeding, inflammation, pain, if the extraction of the 4 teeth at the same time this situation, it is a very painful thing.

If there are wisdom teeth have not grown out, need to cut the gums to flip the flap extraction, it is even more not recommended to pull a one-time, because this trauma is more, bring more pain, care more difficult.

So, unless the time is really not open, I suggest that patients and friends in the case of sufficient time, good physical condition, batch extraction of wisdom teeth. For example, remove the top and bottom of one side at a time, and then remove the top and bottom of the other side in a week or two.

But whether it is the traditional method or minimally invasive, under the effect of anesthesia, there is no pain during the operation.
