The removal of wisdom teeth or "eights" is often common, as they are not necessary and are not needed for normal chewing of food by a person. Specialists told in which cases it is necessary to remove wisdom teeth.
The wisdom tooth is the eighth tooth in the dental row, also called the "third molar" and is a large tooth. "Eights" can erupt in people aged 12 to 25 years. Despite the problems and diseases they cause, the ancestors of modern man were afraid to remove them. According to the beliefs of ancient people, the appearance of a wisdom tooth meant that its owner had reached both physical and spiritual adulthood and from now on he would be considered a person with a lot of life experience.
The eighth teeth have a low value for the maxillofacial system. Wisdom teeth can lead to pulpitis, caries and damage to neighboring teeth. The latter often occurs due to difficult eruption of third molars. Many dentists recommend removal because they can cause gingivitis, periostitis, gum inflammation and severe pain in the cheeks, throat, and ear.
- The removal of the eighth teeth is necessary if they are located under the gums and cannot erupt (if the wisdom tooth remains, this may cause the formation of a cyst);
- "eights" were partially cut through; there is not enough space for the tooth;
- there are painful sensations in the area of the wisdom tooth;
- inflamed soft tissues near the eighth tooth;
- a tumor has formed;
- caries appeared and inflammation of the gums began.
Experts note that it is not necessary to get rid of a wisdom tooth when the teeth are healthy, there are no inflammatory processes, and the "eight" has erupted correctly and its location does not interfere with other teeth, does not cause pain, and is easily cleaned during oral hygiene. Experts recommend visiting the dentist regularly to avoid dental problems.
