In real life, the sentence "Have you pulled your wisdom teeth?" can not only allow you to quickly open the chat box of your peers in the gap that is almost cold, but also pry open the mouth of the introvert and take out the "blood and tears experience" hidden deep in his mouth.
's fear of pain, worry about price, enthusiastic doctor recommendations, exclusive summary precautions... The complete process of wisdom teeth extraction by witnesses is amazing, which makes people's deep memories left by this minor operation.
In human history, adult ritual , as a transition during different life cycles, is always accompanied by mystery, pain and a sense of ritual. From this perspective, it doesn’t seem too much to compare wisdom teeth extraction to “the adult ritual of modern society”.
wisdom teeth that grow at the ends of the teeth up and down and germinate before and after human adulthood have long been regarded as a "time bomb" in the mouth. It was once considered a "wise choice".
coupled with people's increased attention to dental health, the demand for wisdom teeth extraction is becoming increasingly hot, and the price of surgery is rising.
At the same time, more research on wisdom teeth has also triggered new reflections and discussions.
"expensive and painful" wisdom tooth removal surgery is really a "must-pass" for everyone?
A "pain and expensive" operation
is lying obediently in a dental treatment chair like a lamb to be slaughtered. The dentist wearing a mask has a gentle look, allowing you to keep your mouth open with force, while you only feel soreness in your face.
Various metal equipment starts to operate in your mouth, knocking and drilling, reminding you of the scene of miners digging stones in a cave. The word "lightning lightning" suddenly flashes through your mind.
After a while, when you were immersed in your random thoughts, the doctor was already proclaiming victory in a light tone: "Put it off, get up, bite the cotton, don't suck the wound..."
In this way, wisdom teeth were "mined", just like ancient fossils found on living bodies. For the first time, it appeared in front of you in a complete or fragmented state, arousing your imagination about human ancestors.

Songsong's first wisdom teeth removal was in 2014. At the age of 19, she suddenly felt a pain at the end of her right tooth, accompanied by local redness and swelling in the depths of her mouth.
She realized that this was a wisdom tooth attack, so she decided to remove the "time bomb" in her mouth as soon as possible.
At the recommendation of a friend, she walked into a public hospital. The first doctor who consulted told her that this wisdom tooth was "longer" and needed to be hospitalized for removal. Songsong didn't want to be hospitalized, so he changed to a doctor to consult.
The second doctor performed her surgery. During the operation, because anesthetics had been injected, Songsong felt more fear than pain. She could clearly feel the various tools working in her mouth, beating and pulling her teeth and gums, but the whole process was very rapid. She speculated that the whole process was only ten minutes from entering the clinic to leaving the surgery.
She still remembered that the mother who accompanied her had just returned from paying the money. When she saw her sitting on a chair outside, she urged her to say, "Get in and pull it out quickly."
. Her mouth was covered in blood at the time, so she could only say two words with difficulty: "Tight."
After pulling out her wisdom teeth, the pain began.
Most people reached the "pain peak" after the operation. During this process, some people "cried in pain" while others "almost had no feelings".The unique experience is related to the specific situation of wisdom teeth growth and the doctor's technical level.
It’s a pity that the first time I’m taking out my wisdom teeth, loosening is the former.
"I actually have a strong ability to bear the pain, but about half an hour after I went home that day, the part of my wisdom teeth pulled began to hurt slightly, and later I couldn't stand it anymore. I quickly took the medicine prescribed by the doctor, but it was useless."
She walked to the mirror, looked at her right face, which was swollen, opened her mouth to check the wound, and found that a ball of bleeding-stopping cotton remained in her mouth. After removing the cotton, her pain finally slowed down.
By the third day, Songsong's face was still swollen like a bee stung. She was in school and had to take a leave to go for infusion to prevent inflammation. In the next week or so, she could only eat some liquid food, and "they got thinner."
Although the process is painful, the wisdom tooth extraction at least solved her toothache problem, and because it was pulled early, the price was acceptable. Songsong spent about 900 yuan on the removal of the two upper and lower wisdom teeth on the right. Later, she heard from her friend that she might have more than 900 yuan to remove these "horizontal" impaired wisdom teeth. Under the hot demand for wisdom tooth removal surgery, the price of wisdom tooth removal surgery is rising day by day. /TuChong Creative
In first-tier cities, the cost of removing a wisdom tooth can be as low as 600 yuan, and the most can be as high as more than 2,000 yuan. According to the medical insurance policies of different regions, the money may be paid at your own expense in many hospitals.
Guangdong Provincial Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Dental dentist Zhang Wen told the Xin Weekly reporter that there are differences in pricing of wisdom tooth removal surgery in different regions and hospitals, and the nature (public or private) and grade of the hospital also have an impact on pricing.
In addition, there are not many medical consumables for wisdom tooth surgery. The specific cost of each tooth is related to the difficulty of removing the wisdom tooth itself.
Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine Dental physician He Jianliang in the article "Why is it so expensive to pull out a wisdom tooth? 》 mentioned that for most wisdom teeth with crooked growth, the word "tooth extraction" not only includes "extraction", but also covers various actions such as "graining" teeth, "standing" teeth, "split" teeth, and "knocking" teeth. Before the tooth extraction, the doctor needs to accurately find the most suitable position to take anesthetics; after the wisdom teeth are removed, the doctor needs to stop bleeding and suture the larger wounds. Some people also need to hang saline to prevent inflammation and anti-infection. After that, may also need to remove , debridement, and relieve pain...
In short, each step depends on the actual situation of the wisdom teeth, and it depends very much on the doctor's experience and judgment.
At the same time, the growth of wisdom teeth can be said to be strange and it is difficult to define a unified charging standard. A dentist in a public hospital revealed to reporters that there is a relatively vague area between the charging standards for different wisdom teeth. The judgments of different doctors may not be completely consistent, "but the difference will not be too big."
Nowadays, the development of technology and the precise application of anesthetics are expected to minimize the "pain" of wisdom tooth extraction, but under the hot demand, the "expensive" of wisdom tooth extraction may still be a major trend.
Organs that are despised
Speaking of the organs that are most despised in the body, wisdom teeth must be on the list. In the eyes of many people, it is the excess part and the "trace organ" that has not yet been "optimized" by the evolutionary process.
wisdom teeth, commonly known as the third molar of human beings, in most cases, a person has 4 symmetrical upper and lower left and right. Compared with other teeth, the third molar erupts later, usually between 16 and 25 years old, so it is considered a symbol of wisdom germination.
Human attention to wisdom teeth can be traced back to Ancient Greek period, and the germination of wisdom teeth was mentioned in Aristotle's book "History of Animals". In modern society, wisdom teeth can be called "thorns in the eyes" of dentists and "thorns in the flesh" of patients. Not only is it considered “useless”, it is sometimes even “harmful”.
A widely circulated story may reflect the attitude of modern people towards wisdom teeth from the side.
It is said that someone had an inflammation of his wisdom teeth while in Antarctica, and the situation was critical, but there were no surgical conditions in Antarctica, so people could only send planes to Antarctica to pick up people, which cost a lot of money. From then on, there was an unwritten rule to work in Antarctica: whether your wisdom teeth hurt or not, or whether your appendix appendix is healthy or not, you must undergo appendectomy and wisdom tooth removal surgery before heading to Antarctica.
Although the authenticity of this story is questionable, it can be seen that wisdom teeth, like the appendix, are regarded as a pre-solvable trouble.
In some developed countries, preventive wisdom teeth removal has long been a highly popular surgery. According to earlier statistics from the American Public Health Association, Americans spend about $3 billion on wisdom teeth extraction each year. Data from a US dental institution in the first quarter of 2014 showed that 80% of the operations performed by oral surgeons were wisdom teeth extraction.
In the eyes of many doctors, only a few wisdom teeth can grow into their ideal appearance "behavedly": they are not biased, neither long nor short, they are normal to choke up and down, and they are in peace with their adjacent teeth.
In fact, many wisdom teeth either grow obliquely or hide in the flesh to cause faint pain. They may not only cause pericoral inflammation due to insufficient oral space, but also impair wisdom teeth (wisdom teeth that cannot erupt to the normal occlusal position) may also damage our second molar (commonly known as large teeth), causing adjacent teeth lesions. In addition, wisdom teeth themselves may not be easy to clean, resulting in tooth decay ... In worse cases, wisdom teeth may also cause dental cysts or tumors.
Based on these considerations, doctors usually think that most wisdom teeth should be removed.
media publicity deepens people's anxiety. How can you smile with confidence without a good mouthful of teeth?
The popularity of wisdom teeth extraction is also mixed with young people's concerns about appearance and health.
If calculated by unit volume, teeth may be the most expensive body organ to invest in attention and capital at present - from daily use toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, whitening tooth patches, to a series of medical projects that people are familiar with, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and tooth floss, to have a series of familiar medical projects such as tooth fillings, tooth extractions, orthodontics, root canal treatments, careful "sanding" teeth has become a pandemic trend.
021Q1 Global Dental Financial Report mentioned that "the oral industry is a close combination of medicine and beauty, with strong consumer attributes." spokespersons in TV and print advertisements and handsome men and beautiful women on social media shape people's imaginations about teeth. A neat and beautiful big white teeth have almost become the standard for contemporary urban elites. In addition, there is a large market for mysterious statements such as wisdom teeth removal that can "slim your face" among young people who pay attention to appearance.

Soon, Songsong decided to remove his wisdom teeth for the second time. The reason for this time was not pain, but more of a "love of beauty".
The idea originated from a registration photo taken during college. She found that after removing the wisdom teeth on the right, her "left and left faces were particularly asymmetric" in the photo, so she decided to pull out the two left ones and "balance them."
Like all the young people who "I want health and beauty", Songsong lay on the dentist's treatment chair again.
or not, this is a problem.
The book "Testion of Teeth" mentioned, "Wisdom teeth impaction seems to be a disease caused by modern civilization, or the product of the mismatch between modern culture and biology." In the long evolution, wisdom teeth, as powerful chewing tools for human ancestors, gradually lost their space to exist.
wisdom teeth are really useless? Is it necessary to prevent wisdom teeth removal?
Although past experience has good reason to believe in the benefits of wisdom teeth extraction, with the development of technology and the release of more research, there are also voices who believe that leaving wisdom teeth can be a wise choice.
In fact, not everyone believes that wisdom teeth are trace organs, and the practice of preventive wisdom teeth removal is not without controversy in the medical community.
Whether to remove an asymptomatic wisdom tooth depends mainly on the doctor's clinical judgment and the patient's personal preferences.In the past, it was believed that most impaired wisdom teeth were best removed early when they did not cause harm, but some researchers opposed this approach. A study published in 2005 and updated in 2012 and 2016 believes that we still do not have enough evidence to determine whether asymptomatic disease-free impaired wisdom teeth should be removed or retained.
Should wisdom teeth be removed? /TuChong Creative
The study compared the extraction and retention of asymptomatic disease-free immunized wisdom teeth in adolescents or adults through the randomized controlled trial . The conclusion was: "Although in the long run, retaining asymptomatic disease-free immunized wisdom teeth may increase the risk of periodontitis affecting the adjacent second molar, the relevant evidence is insufficient." As for the congestion of wisdom teeth in the lower anterior teeth, it is caused by a variety of factors, and wisdom teeth alone are not enough to cause congestion of the entire lower anterior teeth.
Some even further suggest that most preventive wisdom teeth removal surgery may be unnecessary.
The UK stopped routine wisdom teeth removal in 1998 because of the lack of scientific basis for doing so. In China, most dentists will propose corresponding treatment plans based on the patient's specific situation, and not all cases recommend wisdom teeth removal.
At the same time, the prior art can already transplant wisdom teeth under certain suitable circumstances. Although the technology is currently costly and is still being explored, we may also have the opportunity to utilize these "alternative" teeth in the future.
So, if your wisdom teeth do not have any symptoms, you don’t have to think of it as a “time bomb”. You must “eliminate it and then quickly”. Maybe it can become your “spare tire” - but the doctor has to decide what to do with wisdom teeth.
