20 Years of Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth are the third molars at the back of the jawbone. It is also known as the `mind tooth` among the people because it lasts between the ages of 16-40. With the changing eating habits for thousands of years, the jaw bones of human beings have also changed. Today, in many people, wisdom teeth cannot fit into the mouth, so they either remain impacted or settle in the mouth in a different position than they should be.

Frequently Asked Questions

If it is located where it should be in the mouth and does not cause any problems in closing, it does not need to be pulled. However, if the wisdom teeth are in the mouth in a semi-impacted form and cause complaints such as decay of the neighboring teeth and pain while eating, extraction is decided. At the same time, impacted wisdom teeth that are not visible in the mouth are also extracted if they are in a position that may cause problems. Otherwise, it may cause the existing teeth in the mouth to become crooked while trying to erupt. The 20-year-old teeth, which have been impacted for years without harming the person, can be left in the mouth with regular controls.

The structure of wisdom teeth is similar to other teeth in the mouth. The reason why it decays faster is that it is difficult to provide an effective cleaning with tooth brushing since it is located at the back of the mouth. Therefore, it rots early.

In case it is semi-buried in the mouth, food residues accumulate between the gingiva and the teeth and cannot be cleaned no matter how carefully it is brushed. When this situation goes unnoticed and progresses, it can result in an abscess. With an abscess, pain occurs when opening the mouth and it becomes difficult to eat.

  • When it cannot find a place in the jawbone during its eruption and causes the teeth to become crooked by applying pressure to the existing teeth, when it causes bad breath because it is difficult to clean, when there is pain, swelling and redness in the surrounding gingiva, when the root of the adjacent tooth dissolves in a horizontal position, when it causes cyst formation around it when it is impacted withdrawal is decided.

If it is visible in the mouth, its extraction is no different from other teeth. If it is in a buried or semi-buried position, it requires surgery. In this case, the tooth is anesthetized by making an injection through the mouth. Tooth extraction is performed by removing the bone and gingival tissue on it, and the process is completed by suturing.

When the bone tissue is removed, some swelling may appear on the face during the healing period. This period passes easily when the drugs prescribed after the operation are used properly with the recommendation of the physician and cold compresses are applied.

The knowledge and experience of the physician is very important in 20-year-old tooth extraction. If care is not taken during the extraction, the patient`s lower lip or tongue may remain numb as a result of permanent nerve injury. At the same time, tooth roots can escape into important anatomical spaces such as sinus cavities. In some cases where uncontrolled force is applied, fractures or cracks may occur in the adjacent tooth. Chronic infection of the extraction site and its inability to heal properly are among the problems that can be experienced.

As with any surgical procedure applied in the mouth, hot food and beverages should be avoided for bleeding control and should not be spit out after the operation. Since it will impair the healing of the wound area, smoking should be stopped if possible or smoked as little as possible. The teeth adjacent to the wound area should be cleaned with soft-tipped brushes and the cleaning of the area should be supported with antiseptic mouthwashes.
