It would seem that you are out of childhood for a long timeand changed their milk teeth to a set of real, full-fledged ones. And suddenly - meet the replenishment! Somewhere in the depth, it seems, new teeth begin to erupt at the jawbone ligaments, making it vivid to imagine a similar process, so hard to bear by babies. Sensations are not pleasant - aching pain in the cheek and throat gives in the ear and head, making it also extremely uncomfortable, and even difficult, chewing food. A senior relative or dentist immediately "will please": the wisdom tooth is climbing. And you rub your aching cheek with a single thought: "Do I need it ?!".
By and large, really, do not.A tooth of wisdom is the same rudiment that came from ancestors, like appendicitis or coccyx. To ancient people, not so far gone from animals, an additional "tool" for chewing hard, not subjected to heat treatment and beating on a cutting board meat was not superfluous, but we have enough and the existing set. The jaw itself in the evolutionary process has decreased so that almost no space is left on it. It's not for nothing that some modern people have such teeth. And they live well without them! And to others - here, unexpected gift from nature! And this remnant also, as if in mockery, was called the "wisdom tooth", hinting that they "climb" already in the adult age of the person, usually in the period from 17 to 25 years. Although, given how many problems it can deliver by its appearance, it's just right to try another interpretation. It is necessary to think carefully about what to do if the wisdom tooth creeps in - take it to your friendly "jawed family" or get rid of this restless type as soon as possible?
The fact that it erupts is difficult and painful, withan increase in body temperature and swelling of the surrounding tissues - this is not so bad. He, as a rule, has little space, and the wisdom tooth begins to press his neighbors, grow at random, in general, completely destroys the order established in the mouth. The number of "hidden corners" increases where the toothbrush can not penetrate, correspondingly, the risk of caries increases. "Pushing" competitors, this aggressor can damage neighboring teeth, jawbone, nerves. And even stopping halfway, and not completely cutting through, he will "out of the underground" conduct his destructive activities.
Is the wisdom tooth nothing but harm, notcan bring to its owner? Dentists delicately evade a direct answer. Normally grown and properly located tooth is no worse than his fellow men. Removal, like any surgical intervention, is already an extreme step. And someday "sage" can serve a good service, if during prosthetics for him it will be possible to clamp artificial teeth. However, due to its location, it is difficult to care and treat, unpredictable, and the further - the more problematic it will be to remove it if necessary, since the risk of damage to nerve endings is great.
Well, what do you want me to do if I start cutting?wisdom tooth - to delete or not? The most correct thing is to consult a dentist. Perhaps the decision should not be taken in a hurry, you can observe how the process will go, find a tooth to itself, without prejudice to "other people's interests." But if the doctor is inclined to remove - do not hesitate! Dentists do not throw their teeth in vain, and if the specialist has made a decision, he should be trusted.
Even if everything went smoothly, the doctor gave"Good" or you, without experiencing any special problems, did not visit the polyclinic, giving yourself up to the mercy of nature, you still have to keep an eye on your "acquisition". The wisdom tooth will always be the most vulnerable of all, and, by the way, if it hurts, it will never calm down. And in this case, delay in visiting the dentist is unacceptable.
