You can smile if you have all four normal wisdom teeth because you are one of the lucky few!
So why are wisdom teeth often troubling?
As you know, mankind is the product of evolution, from ape to ape, and primitive man ... has gone through millions of years to become a modern man. In the process of evolution, the jawbone of the human body becomes smaller. Most of our jaws are sufficient for 28 teeth, 14 upper teeth and 14 lower teeth. But the fact is we have 32 teeth for 4 wisdom teeth, 2 upper teeth and 2 lower teeth. These teeth grow last, so they usually do not have enough space to grow normally. This is the root of all troubles.
Because there is not enough room to grow in the normal direction, wisdom teeth find themselves another path to growth, such as growing up toward the jaw bone or stabbing directly to the second molar on the side. Or they may try to grow normally, sprout up from the gums partially clogged and stop permanently.
It was agreed that cases of wisdom teeth that do not normally cause or tend to cause damage to the teeth, gums and bone around should be spit.
Tooth decay: Because wisdom teeth are at the very bottom of the teeth, it is very difficult to clean the food, bacteria and bacteria easily accumulate, especially in the teeth that only partially or slightly expand, soup. This buildup will cause decay. If left untreated, it can be very painful and infection can occur. Specifically, what is the problem caused by wisdom teeth?
Inflammation: The accumulation of food and bacteria in the wisdom teeth also causes inflammation of the surrounding gums. This causes the symptoms of swelling, pain, bad breath and sometimes hardening of the jaw (the patient cannot open his mouth). This gingivitis will recur so many times as long as wisdom teeth remain untreated, and the higher the number of recurrences, the higher the risk.
Destructive bones and teeth around: As discussed above, wisdom teeth can grow in the wrong direction. When the tooth sprouts to the next tooth, it will cause it to be destroyed, shaken, sometimes causing tooth decay, and eventually tooth loss. The early symptoms of this deviation are dull pain in that area.
In some cases when the abnormality of the wisdom tooth is not treated in time, the infection spreads to the surrounding area such as the ear, cheeks, eyes, neck ... causing death.
Note: the efficacy of the treatment can vary depending on each patient’s condition.
