Wisdom tooth problems
Most people believe that there is a lot of pain when wisdom teeth grow. Swelling of the gums or mouth and difficulty in opening the mouth.
First of all we will know why it hurts when wisdom teeth come. Adults have 32 teeth. Wisdom teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25.
Due to evolution, human jaws get smaller from generation to generation, but the size of teeth has not changed. So now a days human jaws get smaller to accommodate 32 teeth. There is usually only enough space for 28 teeth.
If all the remaining teeth are present and healthy then there is not enough space for the wisdom teeth to grow. If there is enough space in the jaw, it grows easily and stays in a useful position and there is no problem. Sometimes there is a bit of a problem with wisdom teeth, but it is only for a short time, which goes away after the teeth are fully grown.
If there is not enough space in the jaw, the wisdom tooth tries to come out, then it will get trapped behind the front molar, it is called Impacted Wisdom Tooth.
Common Signs & Symptoms
If a small part of the wisdom tooth appears outside the gums and a small part is covered by the gums, a cavity (pocket) is formed between the gums and the teeth, in which trapped food particles are eaten after a while and inoculated into the gums, causing pain in the gums. It can also cause swelling.
Food particles and germs that accumulate under the gums are very difficult to clean properly.
Your dentist can give you systematic advice on whether or not this problem will last for a while.
Home Remedy
Rinsing with salt water gives a lot of relief in gum pain and swelling. Antiseptic mouthwash is also useful for relieving inflammation. Painkillers are also useful for a while, but should be shown to a dentist if the pain persists and there is difficulty opening the mouth. He can find out the cause of your problem, and give you advice accordingly. It is important to brush your teeth properly, as well as take antibiotics.
The importance of X-rays of wisdom teeth
An X-ray of the wisdom teeth is necessary to see the position of the roots of the wisdom teeth, as well as to see if there is enough space in the jaw for the wisdom teeth. When an X-ray shows that there is no space in the jaw for the wisdom tooth and it can not grow in a useful position and if it causes pain or other problems, it is advisable to remove it or go for a laser operculectomy.
Panaromic x-rays are taken from the outside of your mouth and give your dentist an image of the entire oral cavity in one big photo. During a panaromic x-ray, he x-ray machine will move around the circumference of your head to get a full picture. This x-ray shows all of your teeth including the jaw bone, root position, sinus areas, cavity, amount of bone loss, abscesses and how many wisdom teeth are present as well as missing or impacted teeth.,other masses that can be caught early and can be a great way to detect aw disorders and any irregularities that may have. meaning faster, more efficient care for you.

Wisdom tooth extraction treatment is more difficult than other tooth extraction treatments. Sometimes a small operation has to be performed to remove wisdom teeth.
