How to grow wisdom teeth

summary

Wisdom teeth are a kind of situation that adults will have. Generally, wisdom teeth will grow only when they are over 22 years old. If wisdom teeth can't pierce the gums when they grow, pericoronitis is is easy to appear in ordinary times. The general solution for this kind of situation is to pull out wisdom teeth. However, in general, it is not recommended that you use this method, drug treatment It's the best solution. So let me talk about how to grow wisdom teeth.

How to grow wisdom teeth

Reason 1: with the growth and development of the human body, the jaw also becomes wider and longer. In addition to the 20 permanent teeth growing on the original 20 deciduous teeth, three pairs of big molars grow from front to back on both ends of the maxilla and mandible: the first pair grows around 6 years old, the second pair grows around 12 years old, and the third pair grows around 18-25 years old But there are also some problems. The third pair of big molars is about 20 years old. They are in the period of growing body and knowledge. So people call the third pair of big molars wisdom teeth.

Reason 2: because wisdom teeth grow last, the distance between the distal mandible and the second pair of molars is very small, the position of wisdom teeth is not enough, and the crown can only grow partially. If the alveolar bone is very hard, the wisdom teeth will grow in the direction of alveolar bone loosening. As a result, the wisdom teeth will grow in a horizontal position, or incline to the proximal direction. At this time, there will be a feeling of pain.

The third reason: if the crown surface is covered by a part of the gum, a pocket is formed between the tooth surface and the gum, and the food residue is easy to collect in the pocket. When brushing and gargling, the food residue is not easy to wash out, which creates favorable conditions for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. When the body's resistance is low, the gums of wisdom teeth are often inflamed.

In addition to the above, I have one more point to say: maintain oral hygiene, after anti-inflammatory, it is recommended to remove the tooth as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause inflammation and pain.
