What's going on when another tooth grows inside the big tooth?

As the human body ages, the teeth will take shape. Normally, new teeth will no longer grow after the age of sixteen. However, anything can happen in life. For example, some people may have a symptom of another tooth growing inside the molar. This symptom means that the new tooth is redundant, and the best way is to extract it. So what is the matter with another tooth growing inside the molar?

First, what's the matter with another tooth growing inside the molar? It may be supernumerary teeth or gingival hyperplasia, etc. You can go to the oral department to take a dental X-ray to confirm the diagnosis. It is recommended that you go to the oral department of a regular hospital for examination. If it is confirmed that you have supernumerary teeth, they should be extracted as soon as possible. You must pay attention to oral hygiene and brush your teeth in the morning and evening and rinse your mouth after meals. Go to the dentistry department regularly for dental check-ups. If you find tooth decay, you should treat it as soon as possible.

Second, the teeth that grow out are wisdom teeth, and the patient will experience symptoms such as pain, difficulty opening the mouth, fever, headache, and swollen tonsils. It is recommended to see a dentist for examination and treatment, and if necessary, have the wisdom teeth removed. Considering that the deformed central cusp or the pain in the middle of the tooth may be due to the elevated part of the cusp. The dental nerve is located at a higher position and after wear and tear, the nerve is exposed and inflamed, causing pain. It is recommended to see an oral doctor. If the tooth pain is caused by inflammation of the dental nerve, only root canal treatment can solve the problem. Taking medicine will not be of much help.

Third, the tooth that grows in the middle of the teeth is usually the center tooth, and tooth pain is caused by infection of the dental nerve. Because it is a tooth within a tooth, treatment is more difficult. First, we need to determine whether this tooth is worth repairing or treating, and whether it can be restored to normal through crown restoration or other methods in the future. If it does not satisfy the doctor's conditions, the tooth needs to be extracted, and it will not hurt. If it can satisfy the doctor's conditions, the dental nerve needs to be cleaned, which will also not hurt.

What's going on when another tooth grows inside the molars? At the age of 16, all teeth except wisdom teeth should have grown out. The one that grows now should be a supernumerary tooth. If a supernumerary tooth causes you pain, it should be removed as soon as possible. However, it is also possible that a tooth has broken into two halves, and you mistakenly thought that it was a new tooth. If this is the case, the tooth should be treated.
