You may have experienced the extraction of wisdom teeth yourself. Or maybe it just doesn't know whether your wisdom teeth have grown or not. What is clear, the teeth that grow recently are usually always synonymous with pain when they appear.

What is wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth, or third molar teeth, are the most recent teeth to grow. These teeth usually grow when you are 17-20 years old. Approximately 90% of people aged 20 years at least have 3 wisdom teeth that have grown, and the remaining 1 wisdom tooth that has not yet grown or has only partially grown. Wisdom teeth can appear until you are 30 years old.

Apart from growing late, these wisdom teeth also have characteristics that are somewhat different from your other teeth. Even sometimes, you have to go to wisdom teeth surgery.

The dentist can also examine your wisdom teeth by checking the lymph nodes in your neck to see if there is swelling inside or outside the mouth.
X-rays are often used to examine wisdom teeth. An X-ray is used to check for infection in wisdom teeth, in the roots and in the tissue around your wisdom teeth. X-rays can also visualize the shape and position of the roots of wisdom teeth in your jawbone.

When should wisdom be removed?

Wisdom teeth are the teeth that are most often removed. Here are the problems that often make your wisdom teeth revoked:

1. Pericoronitis

Pericoronitis is inflammation of the tissue surrounding the new wisdom teeth that have only partially grown. About 95% of pericoronitis occurs in mandibular wisdom teeth. Because wisdom teeth are not important teeth for biting food, these teeth are usually removed.

Signs that often appear when you experience acute pericoronitis are swollen gums around the wisdom teeth, pain and unpleasant taste in your mouth. in more serious cases, you may have a fever, pus in the tissues associated with wisdom teeth, and have difficulty opening your mouth due to swelling in your gums.

Pericoronitis usually occurs when wisdom teeth begin to grow. Rarely does pericoronitis occur for people over the age of 30 years.

2. Dental caries, pulpitis, and root infection of the tooth

Dental caries is a common problem, especially in wisdom teeth. If left untreated, dental caries can cause pulpitis, which is inflammation around the dental pulp.

Pulpitis can make your teeth hurt and throb. Pulpitis can touch the dental pulp and if left untreated it can cause root infection (often called apical periodontitis). Root tooth infection is one of the most frequent reasons why wisdom teeth are removed.

3. Periodontitis

Periodontitis damages the tissues and bones that support the teeth and can cause teeth to dislodge. The most reasonable treatment for this problem is by removing this tooth or by replacing this tooth with dentures.

How to treat and prevent pain in wisdom teeth

Treatment for wisdom teeth varies depending on the problem. But for prevention of wisdom teeth, often brushing teeth or keeping teeth clean is the key.

Wisdom teeth is rather difficult to brush because of its location in the mouth at the very back. As a result, this tooth is easily perforated. Especially if the youngest teeth are only partially growing, the wisdom teeth are increasingly difficult to clean because some of these teeth are still inside the gum.

If it's hard to brush your wisdom teeth with an ordinary toothbrush, try using a smaller toothbrush or children's toothbrush. Using mouthwash containing fluoride can also help, especially if you have difficulty brushing your youngest teeth. If you go to the dentist, your dentist can also clean your wisdom teeth and give antibiotics.
