What are the dangers of tooth extraction?

The molars are the most important among all the teeth, and they are also the face of the mouth. If the molars have caries or serious dental diseases, they may need to be extracted. This will have a certain impact on health. The most obvious is that it is easy to lead to a decrease in chewing function. In addition, it will also have an adverse effect on the surrounding teeth. Therefore, when the molars are extracted, the teeth should be filled in time.

What are the dangers of tooth extraction?

1. After tooth extraction, there is no replacement of the missing teeth, resulting in decreased chewing function

Because a missing tooth often causes the teeth on one side to be disused, the incidence of periodontal disease and caries increases due to disuse of the teeth on the missing side. The opposing teeth stretch due to lack of contact, causing food impaction. The teeth on the other side are overly worn due to the increased burden, which can easily cause food impaction and lead to periodontal disease and caries.

2. If there is no denture after tooth extraction, the adjacent teeth will be easily tilted due to long-term tooth loss.

Because missing teeth can easily form gaps between teeth, which can lead to food impaction and periodontal disease, premature contact or interference with the elongation of the mandibular teeth, thus causing occlusal disorders.

3. Tooth extraction without dentures can cause temporomandibular lesions

People with severe tooth loss are prone to problems such as limited mouth opening, joint pain, and joint popping. Of course, the causes of temporomandibular joint disorder are complex, and long-term temporomandibular joint disorder is difficult to cure clinically. But missing teeth is indeed one of the very important causes of disease.

4 Tooth extraction can cause cheek swelling

If a patient has his wisdom teeth removed, swelling will generally occur, but it will gradually improve in about 10 to 15 days. This is mainly due to the exudation of traumatic tissue and obstruction of lymphatic return.

If the patient does not choose a sufficiently formal hospital, it is very likely that infection will occur due to insufficient disinfection. The symptoms of infection include limited mouth opening and pain when swallowing, local redness, swelling and tenderness, which can only be eliminated through good care in daily life.
