What are the signs of wisdom teeth growing?

Growing wisdom teeth is a very painful thing for many people, because pain is more common when growing wisdom teeth. Therefore, we should also pay attention to oral health and hygiene in life. After the growth of wisdom teeth, oral ulcers, caries or surrounding tooth lesions often occur. If the situation is serious, it is recommended to remove the wisdom teeth.

1. Oral ulcers: When wisdom teeth grow, the eruption position is often insufficient, which may lead to incomplete eruption, ectopic or impacted wisdom teeth. The crown of the tooth is partially exposed outside the gums and partially covered by the gums. A narrow and deep blind pocket is formed between the gums and the tooth, which easily accumulates food debris and bacteria, and is difficult to clean with normal brushing and rinsing. In addition, the crown gums are easily damaged by chewing food, forming ulcers and other symptoms. 2. Tooth decay: If wisdom teeth are decayed, except for very simple cavities on the occlusal surface that are not deep, which can be filled, those cavities on the adjacent surfaces require very good technology, as well as those that are very deep and even require root canal treatment. We recommend extraction to prevent future troubles.

3. Causes lesions in adjacent teeth: Usually the patient is unaware of the condition, but the dentist finds out through X-ray diagnosis. Usually there is not enough space for the wisdom teeth to erupt, and they will fall on the second molars, making it difficult to clean the second molars, or even causing partial absorption of the teeth, causing discomfort or toothache for the patient. 4. Insufficient space causes pericoronal inflammation: Wisdom teeth are in a state of disappearance in the history of human evolution. As a result, the dental arches are getting smaller and smaller, and lack of space is common. The patient will experience swelling and pain during eruption. To avoid this from happening again, it is recommended to go to the hospital to remove it as soon as possible after the inflammation subsides.

5. Other symptoms: Severe patients will not only experience more pain in the wisdom teeth in their mouths, but will also have systemic symptoms such as fever, headache, nausea, general discomfort, etc. After the wisdom tooth becomes inflamed, the heel around the crown becomes red, swollen, and eroded, and there is secretion in the vibration pocket. The lesion is obvious to touch. Some patients will also have pus, and the lymph nodes under the affected side will be swollen, and sometimes there will be swelling of the face.
