As with every tooth, the eruption of wisdom teeth may vary from person to person. They usually erupt between the ages of 18-20 with the development of the jaw. These teeth are the last teeth in the jaw area in our mouth.
Wisdom teeth can cause some problems when erupting. There may be difficulty in opening the jaw, pain, swelling, redness, pain and inflammation of the gums on the wisdom teeth that do not fully erupt in the mouth. In addition, wisdom teeth are the teeth located at the back of the mouth. Therefore, in individuals with poor oral care, food residues can easily accumulate on these teeth and cause tooth decay.
Should every wisdom tooth be extracted?
Wisdom teeth should be protected just like the other teeth in our mouth. However, if they damage other teeth, cause inflammation or decay, they should be extracted.

All wisdom teeth do not require surgical extraction, but impacted or half impacted wisdom teeth may require surgical extraction.
The tampon placed in the mouth should be removed after half an hour. You should not rinse and spit for that day. Tooth extraction is performed under local anesthesia. Therefore, you should not eat until the numbness passes. You should also stay away from things that will damage the wound site. You should take into account what your doctor says after the extraction and do not interrupt your routine checks.
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the four teeth located at the back of the mouth, behind the second molars. These teeth typically develop in late adolescence or early adulthood and can cause problems if they do not have enough room to grow in properly. In some cases, wisdom teeth may become impacted, meaning that they are blocked from breaking through the gums. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and infection, and may need to be removed by an oral surgeon.
Why do some people need to have their wisdom teeth removed?
If there is not enough room for the wisdom teeth to grow in properly, they may become impacted, meaning that they are blocked from breaking through the gums. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and infection, and may need to be removed by an oral surgeon.
A dentist or oral surgeon can determine if your wisdom teeth need to be removed by examining your mouth and taking x-rays. Symptoms such as pain, swelling, and infection can also indicate that your wisdom teeth need to be removed.
Recovery time after wisdom teeth removal can vary depending on the individual case and the number of teeth that were removed. It may take several days to a week to fully recover and several weeks for the swelling to fully subside. You should avoid solid food and follow any post-operative instructions provided by your oral surgeon.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with wisdom teeth removal, including bleeding, infection, numbness or tingling of the tongue, and dry socket. These risks are generally rare, and can be minimized by following your oral surgeon’s instructions for care after the procedure.
You should inform your oral surgeon of any medical conditions and any medications you are currently taking. It is also important to follow any pre-operative instructions provided by the surgeon to prepare for the surgery.
There are several misconceptions about wisdom teeth that are widely believed, but are not entirely accurate. Some of the common misconceptions about wisdom teeth include:
Everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed: While many people do require wisdom teeth removal, it is not always necessary. In some cases, wisdom teeth can grow in normally and do not cause any problems.
Wisdom teeth removal is a simple and easy procedure: While wisdom teeth removal is a relatively common procedure, it is still a form of surgery and it can come with some risks and recovery time.
You’ll be in pain after wisdom teeth removal: It’s common to experience some discomfort and pain after wisdom teeth removal, but most people find it manageable and can be controlled with pain medication.
Only people in their teens or 20s need to worry about their wisdom teeth: While wisdom teeth typically develop during late adolescence or early adulthood, people of any age can develop problems with their wisdom teeth.
Wisdom teeth only cause problems if they’re impacted: While impaction is one of the most common problems associated with wisdom teeth, these teeth can also cause problems even if they are growing in normally. For example, they could cause crowding or damage to other teeth.
It’s fine to put off getting your wisdom teeth removed: some people may choose to delay the extraction if the wisdom teeth are not causing immediate problems, but delaying the extraction could increase the risk of complications and make the procedure more difficult in the future. It’s best to remove wisdom teeth before they have a chance to cause problems.
The absence of wisdom teeth (also known as having an “impaction”) can be a sign of good oral health in some cases. Wisdom teeth that don’t have enough room to grow in properly can become impacted, which means they are blocked from breaking through the gums. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and infection, and may need to be removed by an oral surgeon. So, if a person doesn’t have wisdom teeth, this means they are less likely to suffer from the problems that impacted wisdom teeth can cause.
However, the absence of wisdom teeth doesn’t always mean a person has good oral health. Sometimes wisdom teeth don’t develop at all and this can be a genetic or developmental issue. Also, wisdom teeth can be removed for other reasons, such as, they have a cavities, or they are causing damage to the neighboring teeth.
It is important to remember that good oral health involves more than just having or not having wisdom teeth. Regular dental checkups, proper oral hygiene, and a healthy diet are all important for maintaining good oral health.
