Wisdom tooth is one of those concepts that although everyone has heard about it, but few people know what its use and importance is in the mouth... Maybe everyone mentions this tooth as the source of all the pains of their youth that bothered them for some reason!.. Teeth that usually appear in late adolescence or early adulthood and are often associated with pain and problems... In the rest of this article, Dr. Banyanian's dental website explains to you in simple language. What is the philosophy behind this troublesome tooth, how many wisdom teeth do we have and how should we treat them!.. What is a wisdom tooth?.. A wisdom tooth is one of the permanent teeth that grow behind the molars.. This type of tooth, which is also referred to as the wisdom tooth or third molar in many dental articles, is the last tooth that grows in the human mouth and usually appears between the ages of 17 and 25... Where is the wisdom tooth and how many wisdom teeth do we have? The wisdom tooth is located at the end of the upper and lower jaws... that is, the last tooth on each side of the mouth, both in the upper and lower jaws... more precisely: - Every person naturally has 4 wisdom teeth: - 2 in the upper jaw (left and right) - 2 in the lower jaw (left and right) These teeth grow at the end of the row of teeth, and for this reason they are also called "third molars". At what age do wisdom teeth begin to grow? Wisdom teeth start to grow in most people between the ages of 17 and 25....but in some people it may appear a little earlier or later....for example, one of our clients at Dr. Benianian's dental clinic encountered wisdom teeth at the age of 12....although such cases are rare, but not impossible....so if you are asked at what age wisdom teeth appear....declare it as the age at which wisdom teeth start to grow...but attention The **symptoms of wisdom tooth eruption** can help you notice this natural change in your mouth sooner and take the necessary measures... How many roots does a wisdom tooth have? The upper wisdom tooth usually has 3 roots (2 roots on the cheek side and 1 root on the palate).. The wisdom tooth of the lower jaw usually has 2 roots (one in front and one from the root 3 from the back towards the tooth).. but sometimes it may have 2 or even 1 root... Types of wisdom teeth... Wisdom teeth grow in 3 ways: - Hidden wisdom teeth - Semi-hidden wisdom teeth - The wisdom tooth has grown Of course, keep in mind that in some cases the wisdom tooth may not grow at all!.. because there is not enough space in the jaw of some people for it to grow and the tooth does not find a way to come out.... so it always remains hidden under the gums... ### Hidden wisdom tooth A hidden wisdom tooth is a tooth that remains completely under the gum and jawbone and no part of it can be seen in the mouth... This condition occurs when there is not enough space for the tooth to grow or its growth path is in an inappropriate direction (for example, horizontal or angled).. ### Semi-implanted wisdom tooth A semi-implanted wisdom tooth is a tooth whose part has come out of the gum but has not yet fully grown.. In this case, only part of the crown of the tooth can be seen in the mouth and the rest is stuck in the gum or bone. The side teeth put pressure or cause chronic pain and inflammation.. Finally, the last type of wisdom tooth is a tooth that has come out of the gum and can be seen and touched like a tooth in the mouth.... If this tooth is correctly positioned in the row of teeth and does not cause problems in chewing or cleaning, there is no need to pull it, but because the wisdom tooth is at the end of the mouth and it will be difficult for the tooth to access it. The wisdom tooth does not grow properly?.. Improper growth of the wisdom tooth happens most of the time due to the limited space of the jaw or its improper growth angle... Of course, there are other reasons that can prevent the growth of the wisdom tooth.. For example: ### 1.... Lack of space in the jaw Skeletal and jaw changes in human life today have caused the human jaw to become smaller compared to previous years. For this reason, when the wisdom tooth wants to come out at the age of 17 to 25 years, it has no place to grow and this causes it to grow in the wrong position or cannot grow at all (remain hidden).... ### The direction of growth is wrong.. Sometimes the wisdom tooth starts to grow crooked, horizontal or angled instead of growing straight and vertical.. This wrong angle can cause pressure on the side tooth, pain or the tooth getting stuck in the gum.. This situation is one of the common reasons for wisdom tooth extraction.. Others Having a large wisdom tooth or With the twisting of the roots despite the limited space... these genetic factors can intensify the abnormal growth of wisdom teeth... ### 4... Obstacles to growth such as cysts or extra tissue In some cases, small cysts, hard gum tissue, or even other teeth may prevent wisdom teeth from growing. These obstacles can cause complete or partial stoppage of tooth growth.
Of course, in cases where the wisdom tooth grows properly, it can help chewing.. but in general, because in many people it causes problems such as pain, infection or pressure on other teeth, it is more widespread... Wisdom tooth growth Wisdom tooth growth is usually done in several ways: 1....the wisdom tooth may grow towards other teeth and at an angle....2....the wisdom tooth may grow towards the back of the mouth and at an angle....3....this tooth may have an angle with another tooth and grow in this way....4....in some cases the wisdom tooth grows vertically and in the order of the other teeth....if there is not enough space for the wisdom tooth...the growth of the tooth can cause damage in any way... The appearance of other teeth, especially tooth number 7, is the reason for wisdom teeth As we said before, one of the most important reasons for the growth of wisdom teeth is the lack of space for this tooth to grow. Therefore, it grows as a semi-hidden or hidden wisdom tooth and can cause the order of the teeth to be crooked and damage them... There are several reasons that cause some people's wisdom teeth to grow in a hidden manner, the most important of which are mentioned below: - Not having enough space for wisdom teeth to come out - The wisdom tooth is stuck in the jaw bone - Find the curvature of the root of the wisdom tooth - Compression of adjacent teeth and little space for the growth of wisdom teeth Does the growth of wisdom teeth have complications? If the wisdom tooth grows properly and is placed in the correct position, it will not cause any complications for the person and can help you in the process of chewing like other teeth.. **pain and pressure** Improper growth of the wisdom tooth can put pressure on the side tooth and cause pain in the jaw, ear or even head... **gum infection** In semi-implanted teeth, the area around the tooth is difficult to clean and creates a suitable environment for the accumulation of bacteria and inflammation of the gums.. These teeth are more prone to decay due to the difficult access to the back of the mouth, especially if they are attached to the second molar... **creating a cyst or tumor** A hidden wisdom tooth may create a cyst around itself, which if it grows, will damage the jawbone or other teeth... ** row of crooked teeth ** The pressure caused by the growth of wisdom teeth can cause other teeth to shift or tilt, especially the front teeth. Should wisdom teeth be extracted? The wisdom tooth needs to be pulled only if it is hidden or semi-hidden. We must say that if your jaw has enough space and the wisdom tooth does not press against your other teeth (and does not cause any damage to them), wisdom tooth extraction is not necessary.. Wisdom tooth decay In a situation where the wisdom tooth is not in a good position in the mouth, the possibility of maintaining oral hygiene when using dental floss or brushing becomes more limited, that is, it becomes difficult to strengthen the tooth, and as a result, the probability of wisdom tooth decay increases. In severe cases, it leads to bad breath and it is impossible to access it. The wisdom tooth has reached the nerve When they say: "The wisdom tooth has reached the nerve" it means that the decay or infection of the wisdom tooth has progressed so much that it has reached the pulp or the central nerve of the tooth.. This condition is accompanied by severe, throbbing and continuous pain and may be accompanied by swelling, abscess or even pain referred to the ear and extraction of the tooth.. Wisdom teeth are not easy..... especially if the tooth in question is embedded or partial.... In this situation, the dentist may have to remove the wisdom tooth from your mouth with oral surgery methods... that is A professional oral and dental surgeon or even a maxillofacial surgeon will remove your wisdom tooth from your mouth (1.. .. ## Wisdom and specialized examination with surgical methods.... - Before any procedure, the dentist or oral surgeon will check the condition of your wisdom tooth... - OPG (panoramic) photo is used to observe the position of the tooth, the angle of growth, the number of roots and its proximity to the jaw nerve.... - At this stage, it is determined whether the tooth can be pulled naturally or it needs surgery.... #an#esthesia.... To avoid pain, the tooth area is completely numbed with local anesthesia... In special cases (such as complex surgery or severe anxiety of the patient), general anesthesia or sedation may also be used. - First, a small incision is made on the gum.... - If the tooth is under the bone, some of the bone is shaved.... - Sometimes, for easier removal, the tooth is divided into several parts and cut into pieces.... - Finally, the surgical site is washed and sutured.... ### 5.... Care after extraction or surgery.. - Putting sterile gauze on the surgical site to control bleeding - Using a cold compress to reduce swelling - Avoiding eating hot, hard food or drinking with a straw (refer to the article on what to eat after tooth extraction) - Taking antibiotics and toothache killers as prescribed by the doctor - Referral for suture removal if necessary (after 7 to 10 days) To find out about the cost of wisdom tooth surgery at Dr. Benianian's dental clinic, you can refer to the **Wisdom Tooth Surgery Price** page... The difference between surgery and wisdom tooth extraction... The wisdom tooth extraction process can be simple (pulling) or complex (surgery).. A shorter method:

Maybe the surgery will be performed with great care by a maxillofacial specialist so as not to damage the nerve... Observing the necessary tips for wisdom teeth.. Jawbone.... Toothache Wisdom tooth pain is almost different from the pain of other teeth... because the proximity of this tooth to the jaw causes part of the pain to spread in the jaw area... Wisdom tooth pain is associated with pressure and burning, and sometimes it even leads to swelling in the jaw... On the other hand, wisdom tooth pain can lead to ear pain if it worsens severely and even slowly.. But until you see a dentist, you can use ** Do not forget this important point that ** home treatment of toothache ** is not a suitable solution and you should visit the dentist immediately after getting involved in the process of wisdom tooth growth... because delayed teeth can also involve adjacent teeth. The lower jaw is close to the nerves around the ear and the body cannot detect the exact location of the pain...

In some cases, this pain is accompanied by symptoms such as a feeling of pressure, ringing in the ear, or shooting... ### Is wisdom tooth a headache? If the wisdom tooth puts pressure on the jaw or adjacent teeth or causes inflammation of the gums and muscles around the jaw, these pressures are transferred to the face and temple areas and cause tension or nervous headaches... These types of headaches are felt in the temple area, behind the eyes or even in the neck and are aggravated by chewing a lot or opening the jaw. - Earache - Headache - Pain in the back of the mouth - Pain in adjacent teeth - Gum pain - Sore throat - Pain when chewing - Pain in the temples - Pain in the neck (in rare cases) **final summary** In this article, we examined what wisdom teeth are and what types they are...
