What if the wisdom tooth hurts?

Often the cutting of a tooth of wisdom is fraught with manytroubles - from severe pain, when it grows out of the gum, until a series of teeth are displaced. Inflammation of the wisdom tooth (with which it happens more often than with other teeth) carries severe pain and can cause a number of diseases.

The wisdom tooth usually appears either at the endadolescence, or between twenty to twenty-five years. Cutting the wisdom tooth can become a headache in the most direct sense. And this can be only one of the unpleasant sensations, because, unlike the rest of the teeth, the direction of the growth of the wisdom tooth is often impossible to predict. In some cases, it does not grow, rising above the gum, and in some - it grows inclined to other teeth or even grows perpendicular to them. Often the wisdom tooth hurts, the cause of which can be both its wrong position and the inflammatory process. In addition to the headache, it can cause increased fever and pain in the area of ​​its incision.

The tooth of wisdom hurts, yet not erupting? In this case, contact dentistry. And it is better to do this earlier when it has just begun to grow, as the growth of the wisdom tooth is a process that can bring many complications, not to mention that it is painful enough. When the wisdom tooth hurts, it is unlikely that the people's means will help. The dentist will determine the possible complications from the appearance of this tooth, because the wrong direction of his growth can lead to such consequences as the displacement of neighboring teeth aside, tooth decay as the wisdom tooth itself, and the teeth that are located next to it. It often happens that for him there simply is not enough room in the oral cavity. This can be the reason for the appearance of pericoronaritis. If there is not enough room for a wisdom tooth, then it can be partially closed gum, resulting in a "hood" of wisdom tooth. In this "hood" the ideal environment for the multiplication of microbes and the formation of pus - in fact when you are cleaning your teeth it is almost impossible to get this place, no matter how hard you try. Thus, such a "hood" is the optimal basis for the appearance and spread of caries.

If your wisdom tooth hurts, do not heat the sickplace in any case. Since you yourself do not know what to do, the dentist will help you. The longer you delay the visit to him, the more likely that the inflammation of the wisdom tooth will affect neighboring tissues - the jawbone and periosteum. And the defeat of these tissues causes osteomyelitis or periostitis - a disease that will be worse than "innocent" tooth pain. Inflammation leads to the fact that the gums are swollen and therefore injured by their adjacent teeth. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to go to the dentist as soon as the wisdom tooth began to hurt. Pain alone is a sign that inflammation is already progressing as a process.

The dentist, having examined the oral cavity, was the firstwill do everything to remove the inflammatory process. Further actions are carried out in accordance with the prevailing clinical picture. The method of treatment will depend on what the process caused. Perhaps even removal, but this will be an extreme measure. It should be noted, however, that the treatment of the canals of wisdom teeth is very difficult, because the roots of the wisdom tooth are strongly bent. Most likely, the doctor will do everything to keep the tooth. But if all other means of treatment are meaningless, then it remains to perform the removal, using the means of anesthesia. The roots, thanks to their shape, are well fixed, and, perhaps, therefore, the dentist will have to exert a little more effort, so that local anesthesia should provide insensitivity to such sensations. One such case may be, for example, tooth decay. However, healthy teeth of wisdom can be removed if they, cutting through, due to lack of space, shift aside the dentition. Having removed, the dentist is obliged to tell, with what the process of healing will be connected - during what time it will be impossible to drink or eat. Usually, for at least two hours after removal, eating and drinking are contraindicated, and during the day one can not eat hot or cold dishes, and you should not take hot baths and brush your teeth (within 24 hours).

The best time to remove isadolescence, when the roots of wisdom tooth are not so formed as in an adult, and the bone surrounding them is not so dense and solid. In other words, it is much less problematic to wrest a wisdom tooth from an adolescent than an adult. In adults, the roots of the tooth "cling" to the jawbone. If we take into account the fact that it is not easy to get to them - they are at the end of the dentition - it turns out that it is not so easy to wrest them.
