In many cases, the doctor will prescribe wisdom tooth extraction (8th tooth) to stop the pain and avoid unwanted complications. However, because wisdom teeth are connected to many nerves, many people are worried about whether wisdom teeth extraction is dangerous and how long will it take to heal? The article below will summarize and answer all questions related to this issue.
What is wisdom tooth extraction? Is it dangerous?
Wisdom tooth extraction is a dental procedure that involves removing one or more wisdom teeth, performed by a dentist or oral surgeon. Accordingly, wisdom teeth (also known as 8th teeth or the third largest molars) are teeth that grow on the innermost side of each jaw.
Although it is located in the same jawbone, it has a more complicated position than other teeth, but wisdom tooth extraction is just a simple dental procedure. The wisdom tooth extraction process takes place quickly and does not pose a danger.
However, if the tooth extraction is performed at an address that is not reputable, does not ensure sterility or the team of doctors is poorly skilled, it can leave many complications such as prolonged bleeding, infection, nerve damage, etc.
When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Necessary?
Not all wisdom teeth need to be extracted. Before deciding whether to have wisdom teeth extracted or not, the doctor will carefully examine and coordinate with many factors. In the following cases, wisdom tooth extraction is necessary:
People with pain, swelling of teeth… due to misaligned wisdom teeth, growing in the wrong place.
People with burning gums, bleeding roots due to underground wisdom teeth, causing gingivitis.
People with toothache, bad breath,… due to decayed wisdom teeth.
People who intend to get pregnant, sailors prepare to go away,… it is necessary to have a preventive wisdom tooth extraction to avoid complications in the future.
Benefits Of Early Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Extracting misaligned wisdom teeth early helps you feel comfortable, chew comfortably and protect oral health. Specific benefits can be mentioned such as:
Limit the damage to teeth
Easier cleaning and healthier oral care
Wisdom teeth are located in the same arch of the jaw, so it is difficult to clean and easy to accumulate food plaque. Especially when teeth are misaligned, they also create gaps that are difficult to access for cleaning. Therefore, in these cases, wisdom teeth need to be extracted to make oral hygiene easier.
Avoid crowded teeth, causing misalignment of the next teeth
Misaligned wisdom teeth put great pressure on adjacent teeth, which can lead to tooth misalignment. If the wisdom tooth pierces the next tooth, it will also wear down the tooth shaft. Therefore, removing misaligned wisdom teeth early will help better protect adjacent molars.
Create space to improve orthodontic efficiency
In the case of orthodontics, wisdom teeth extraction will help create a gap in the jaw. Thereby, the doctor can conveniently move the crowded and deviated teeth to the desired position, helping you own beautiful teeth.
