Somewhere in the army
Friends, I’ll tell you one story that happened to me personally. It was in the army. Combined arms exercises took place, but most of all I remembered these events not as a large concentration of military contingent, nor marching throws, shooting and hand-to-hand fights. Most of all I remember how they removed the wisdom tooth, or rather, my sensations.
In general, if you are not in the know, then when wisdom teeth are cut, wisdom teeth grow , symptoms can be very unpleasant:
- soreness
- tissue inflammation
- tightness of surrounding teeth.
Sometimes urgent dental care is needed. In my case, it was a little different. They removed the wisdom tooth for a completely different reason. That is, yes, when the wisdom teeth grew, the temperature was elevated for a while, but there were no particular complications. The fact of the matter is that the tooth was healthy and did not hurt. In the exercises, a double jaw fracture happened to me . In the hospital, they put tires on the jaw. Several days passed, maybe a week and it seemed to me personally that the jaw was successfully growing together and everything healed.
But suddenly, the doctor “remembered” that I needed to remove my wisdom tooth in order to avoid complications. It was something! Despite the anesthesia, it was very painful and it seemed that not only had the wisdom tooth been removed, but the jaw was broken again. Perhaps it was. At least the condition worsened, even the neck was swollen.
In fact, wisdom teeth are often removed. In some people, they grow crooked, creating obstruction in the mouth and irritating the gums. But in my case, everything was different. However, I know from lectures in the medical school that there are many problems with wisdom teeth. They grow last. Incorrect placement makes brushing difficult. Plaque accumulates on them, leading to the development of caries. And to fill such teeth is not easy or even impossible.
Therefore, due to the fact that they did not remove the wisdom tooth in due time, problems can arise with other teeth. It is also very problematic if these teeth do not erupt completely and partially remain under the gums. This is a clear pathology, bacteria and food debris can accumulate between the gum and the tooth. The following symptoms occur:
- The appearance of halitosis;
- Strong pain;
- Inflammation, swelling of the gums.
Wisdom teeth, and completely erupted, sometimes cause neuralgic pains, as well as damage to the roots of adjacent teeth. Here, of course, the reason for going to the dentist, as they say "on the face." Any of the previously listed reasons is a good reason to remove problem teeth. And it is advisable to do this as soon as possible, without delay. It is easier to make such removal in adolescence. Then the roots were not fully formed and the density of the surrounding bone is low.
Other indications for removal
- The tooth injures the cheek or tongue, prevents the bite;
- Deep caries;
- Periodontal lesion;
- Jaw fracture;
- Preparation for the treatment of other teeth, if the wisdom tooth creates obstacles.
The operation to remove wisdom teeth is complicated, as I personally have seen from my own experience. Healing after such an operation occurs the faster and painlessly, the easier the removal itself took place.
Often complications when removing wisdom teeth are the so-called “dry holes”. If a person who has removed a wisdom tooth rinses it too hard, then a blood clot will not form or drop out. You should know that this clot just helps with the healing process and should not be removed. Dry holes, on the contrary, slow down this process, and after removal, after a couple of days, the patient feels dull pain. Such symptoms require urgent medical attention, which will take appropriate measures.
But, it is possible that everything is in order and the dentist did not find any problems. Well, then just examine your teeth and take good care of them!
