Wisdom teeth decayed

In the first twenty years or so of life, people generally have only two back molars, but as they age, some people will grow a third back molar, which is the wisdom tooth. However, most wisdom teeth do not have a big impact on the oral cavity, so there is no need to endure the pain of tooth extraction to remove the wisdom teeth. However, if wisdom teeth affect the normal function of the oral cavity, they need to be extracted. Birth decay not only damages other teeth, but also wisdom teeth. So what should you do if your wisdom teeth are decayed?

Because the upper and lower wisdom teeth form an occlusal relationship! Regardless of whether the wisdom teeth grow in the straight direction or not, that is to say, all 4 wisdom teeth have to be extracted. If the upper and lower wisdom teeth grow straight and there is no discomfort with the upper wisdom teeth, when the lower wisdom teeth are extracted, the upper wisdom teeth will not only bite the lower gums when chewing food, causing wound infection, but also cause the upper wisdom teeth to stretch downward or even fall off in the long run.

Why should I remove decayed wisdom teeth?

1. Wisdom teeth grow relatively far back, so debris can easily hide around them and be difficult to clean, making them a haven for bacteria. The decomposed acidic substances quickly corrode the enamel of wisdom teeth. In the early stages, there are only black lines, indicating that shallow caries are relatively easy to treat.

2. The key is that the wisdom tooth does not grow crooked and the eruption space is just right. Only when these two conditions are met can the tooth be filled. Otherwise, impacted wisdom teeth must be removed in time in any case. If bacteria invade the edge of the pulp and cause deep caries, there is no need for root canal treatment at this time, and in the end it cannot escape the fate of being extracted.

Impacted wisdom teeth and tooth decay hide huge hidden dangers!

1. Generally, impacted wisdom teeth are not so obedient and grow in strange positions, especially those that grow horizontally. They often hit the molars and cause discomfort, and residues are often blocked there when eating.

2. When the body's immunity decreases, the gingival tissue around the wisdom tooth crown becomes inflamed, and the blind pocket continues to swell, leading to pericoronitis. The most frightening thing is that the adjacent molars will also be pushed out and form cavities. It is usually inconvenient to brush the wisdom teeth during inflammation, so you have to use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate to assist in anti-inflammatory and sterilization, such as KIN Gillan mouthwash.

Of course, if the wisdom teeth grow in the right position, there is no discomfort, and it will not affect the molars, they do not need to be extracted. However, if the wisdom teeth grow in the wrong direction and there is no pain or itching, they must be extracted in time. Many people wait until pericoronitis occurs before taking anti-inflammatory drugs and finally extracting the teeth, not knowing that the molars next door may be rotten! It is recommended to use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate for anti-inflammatory and disinfection after tooth extraction, such as KIN mouthwash. In addition, KIN toothpaste can also care for wounds and protect periodontal health.
