“Toothache is not a disease, the pain can kill people.” Especially the wisdom teeth located at the end of the upper and lower dental arches. When the oral cavity is swollen and painful caused by poor development, poor position, improper cleaning, etc., it may affect the adjacent teeth to a large extent. As for the oral problems that can lead to cellulitis, Dr. Qiu Peiran of Parkside Dental Clinic pointed out that if the wisdom teeth grow in, but there is not enough space between them and the adjacent teeth or the angle is wrong, it may cause difficulty in cleaning, and it is easy to develop. Problems such as tooth decay and gingivitis.
What is even more dangerous is that if the wisdom teeth do not fully emerge and are left untreated for a long time, it may cause inflammation around the wisdom teeth and even evolve into cellulitis, as well as the chance of chronic cysts in the bone. Once the wisdom teeth are ready to move like volcanoes, pain and swelling will occur. Feelings often come one after another. If you avoid treatment because you are afraid of going to the dentist, the serious consequences may be a fatal deep neck infection. Wisdom teeth may seem annoying and hateful, but in fact, as long as you find a professional doctor who understands “it” for treatment, it can be cured. Make peace with it.
In addition to being called “wisdom teeth”, wisdom teeth are also related to “love”
Many people know that wisdom teeth are called “wisdom teeth”, but did you know? It is also called “love tooth” in Korea. Qiu Peiran explained that Taiwan calls the third largest molar “wisdom tooth”, which is directly translated from the English “Wisdom teeth”. “Wisdom” means “wisdom”, but in Taiwan Korean wisdom teeth are “사랑니” (Sa rang ni), also known as “love teeth”, because “사랑” means “love” in Korean, and wisdom teeth are formed between the ages of 16 and 18, which is not only the period of “the beginning of love” , also means that the physiology and psychology have entered a mature state, symbolizing “the arrival of wisdom”, so it is also called the “teeth of wisdom”.
Does everyone have 4 wisdom teeth? Doctor: It’s related to genetic inheritance!
“Not everyone has 4 wisdom teeth.” Qiu Peiran mentioned that most people think that it is normal for all 4 wisdom teeth to grow out. In fact, this is not the case. Some people only have 1 or 2 wisdom teeth in their lifetime. Wisdom teeth, or even the worry of not having wisdom teeth for a lifetime, are all related to “genetic inheritance”. Just like congenital missing teeth, whether wisdom teeth will grow or not really depends on each person.
As for the growth status and position of wisdom teeth, not everyone is the same. Qiu Peiran said that not everyone’s wisdom teeth will grow crookedly, or they will push into adjacent teeth. This depends on the size and space of the jawbone, and whether it can accommodate it. Wisdom teeth are related.
“Compared with other teeth, the condition of the wisdom teeth themselves is that the gums are more likely to develop peri-wisdom tooth inflammation.” Qiu Peiran pointed out that because the biggest difference between them and ordinary teeth is that the growth position is the last one, so when it develops peri-wisdom tooth inflammation, there is no need to When treated immediately, the infection will spread through the muscle gaps because it is close to the respiratory tract. In serious cases, it will cause dangerous deep neck infections. This means that the bacteria produced by periwisdom tooth inflammation have eroded into the deep neck gaps. Most of the time , you will feel obvious discomfort before this. For example, some people will have difficulty breathing and swallowing because the respiratory tract is swollen and compressed. In appearance, the face will be obviously swollen, and the appearance of both cheeks will be obviously asymmetrical. .
Do wisdom teeth have to be removed? It turns out that it depends on the oral space
Should wisdom teeth be removed? Qiu Peiran said that this depends on the size of the oral cavity. The wisdom teeth in the oral cavity must be completely preserved. The necessary condition is that the oral space must be large enough to accommodate the wisdom teeth. Secondly, the wisdom teeth must be upright and must fully meet these two conditions. , can you avoid the fate of having your wisdom teeth removed, but the chance is slim.
“The best time to remove wisdom teeth is between the ages of 16 and 25.” Qiu Peiran mentioned that how to deal with wisdom teeth is closely related to the depth of their growth and the distance between them and the nerves. The key lies in the professional and technical judgment of the doctor. Most of the time, wisdom teeth extraction can be handled in general clinics. Some patients tremble when they hear tooth extraction. In fact, if they are really scared and cannot accept local anesthesia for tooth extraction, many clinics now provide the option of sleeping anesthesia. The doctor will The patient’s overall health condition and the appropriate amount of anesthesia are given. When dealing with wisdom teeth, the patient is in a safe and comfortable sleep state, which reduces psychological stress and ensures the integrity of the treatment.
Under what circumstances may it be necessary to go to the hospital to treat wisdom teeth? Qiu Peiran explained that the depth of some wisdom teeth is difficult to deal with, such as wisdom teeth that are completely embedded in the bone, which also means that they may be closer to the nerves. This will test the professional skills and judgment of the doctor. The key lies in whether the doctor has Training in oral surgery and experience in tooth extraction, etc., including whether the clinic’s equipment is capable of handling various emergencies. In addition, those with special diseases who need further life monitoring must also go to a large hospital for treatment.
