According to statistics, only in two percent of adults, wisdom teeth germinate without any problems and take their rightful place in the jaw. All the rest have some kind of trouble associated with either the eruption or the removal of third molars. And even those who were lucky enough to find a competent surgeon often feel the consequences of removing a wisdom tooth .
Understanding of the problem
Dentists in different clinics are ambiguous - some are advised to remove, some are discouraged. The patient needs to understand what the situation is in order to be able to make an adequate decision and to predict what it will turn out to be. The teeth of wisdom erupt in most people between twenty and twenty seven years. In a quarter of the adult population, wisdom teeth do not erupt at all (they are in the bone). The reason for this may be that they simply have no place, or they have taken the wrong position. In many cases, the consequences of removing a wisdom tooth are associated with various complications. But often problems begin even before surgery. This, in fact, pushes us to decide on it. The eruption of third molars can be associated with a phenomenon such as the accumulation of food debris under the gums, covering the not completely erupted tooth, which leads to the multiplication of bacteria and inflammation.
Purulent foci in the mouth can be extremely dangerous. Not only do they cause chronic infection of the body, they also complicate the course of the recovery period in case of surgical intervention. All of the above factors should persuade any sane person to carry out timely tooth extraction. The cost of the operation will vary greatly depending on the position of the molar, the presence of a purulent process, the general condition of the oral cavity.
Common effects of removing a wisdom tooth
Immediately after surgery, the main goal is to maintain oral hygiene and prevent infection of the hole. If this still happened, you will have to drink antibiotics. Many surgeons prescribe them immediately after tooth extraction for preventive purposes. This reduces the risk of suppuration. But the uncontrolled use of antibiotics has its own consequences - this time for the whole organism as a whole - it is dysbiosis and harm to the digestive system. In addition, these drugs are a strong allergen.
But the most serious consequences of removing a wisdom tooth are associated with the risk of sinus sinus infection . After all, the upper molars very often penetrate into it with their roots. After their removal, the sinus message with the tooth canal and with the oral cavity remains open. This can cause infection and inflammation. Treatment is complicated by the fact that access to the maxillary sinus (for washing and cleansing it) is difficult for most people. Therefore, the first thing a responsible doctor must do before proceeding with an operation is to send the patient for an X-ray. This will give a clear picture of the location of the roots of the tooth in the jaw and help prevent consequences. However, it is impossible to completely exclude the possibility of pathology of the maxillary sinuses after such an operation. Gum after tooth extraction can also begin to bother: the operation often gives an impetus to a dormant chronic periodontal inflammation. Therefore, it is better to consult with a dentist and a dentist.
