In fact, what we call wisdom teeth is the third molar, which is the latest tooth that erupts in the human oral cavity. For ancient humans and other primates, due to the hard and rough food, the third tooth performs such a responsibility. However, as human food becomes more refined, the human jaw bone gradually becomes smaller, and the last tooth will cause the teeth to be crowded, fall, and crooked due to the limitation of growth space, and even squeeze the good teeth next to it. In addition, it is difficult to clean, which causes discomfort in clinical wisdom tooth area gingival pain, swelling of the gums, restricted opening of the mouth, etc. Severe may cause systemic symptoms such as fever.

Usually we recommend removing wisdom teeth in time when encountering the following situations: 1. The gums are repeatedly swollen and painful, and even the face is swollen and restricted mouth opening. It is recommended to remove them after anti-inflammatory. If the wisdom teeth are abnormally located and do not completely erupt or have caries, it is generally recommended to remove them; 2. When the wisdom teeth are improperly located, it is generally recommended to remove wisdom teeth first and then treat the second molar; 3. When orthodontic treatment, it will prevent the crowding of the front teeth or recurrence after orthodontic treatment. Wisdom teeth need to be removed as appropriate according to the doctor's treatment plan. Please pay attention to your oral health to make life better. (Reporter Lai Zhikai, Correspondent Bai Lin)
