Indications for Wisdom Teeth Removal
-
How do I know when my wisdom teeth should be removed?
-
Wisdom teeth have lesions that interfere with normal life and need to be removed.
- The best time to extract a tooth: 18 to 30 years old is the most suitable, the sooner you have symptoms, the better, after the age of 40 tooth extraction will increase the risk and difficulty of treatment.
- Early tooth extraction is better: when wisdom teeth only have tooth germs, the damage of extraction is small, and when the root formation is incomplete, the tooth root is thicker and not easy to break.
- Delay in tooth extraction wound is larger: Delay may lead to other lesions caused by impacted tooth, which will increase the difficulty of tooth extraction, slow wound healing, and increase the difficulty of treatment.
