If you haven't yet experienced the pain that comes with having your wisdom teeth removed, there are two options after reading this article: either you'll never have them removed and have no reason to worry, or you'll run to the dentist to avoid later complications. Many dentists recommend removing wisdom teeth between the ages of 12 and 25, but is it really necessary to remove them at this age?
When you DO NOT need to remove your wisdom teeth:
- If they are healthy and the flesh around them is not brown.
- If they have come out completely.
- They are well positioned at the bottom of your jaw and do not interfere with neighboring teeth.
- They are easy to clean.
When you SHOULD have your wisdom teeth removed:
- The teeth are completely under the flesh and cannot come out. In such cases, cysts form that can damage the roots of the neighboring tooth.
- The teeth have not fully erupted. You have difficulty cleaning them and as a result, bacteria will collect there, which then leads to oral diseases.
- If there is not enough room for the other tooth, you have to remove it, otherwise it will distort the other teeth and we don't want that, do we?
- If you feel pain in the area of ??your wisdom teeth.
- The mucous membrane on the side of your mouth where your molars are often infected, this is a sign that you should have them removed.
