The reason why impacted wisdom teeth are a problem is that there is no genetic need for this tooth and our jaws are getting smaller and smaller. As our jaws get smaller, 20-year-old teeth are forced to find a place for themselves and therefore cannot come out like other teeth. The 20-year-old teeth, which cannot find a place for themselves, push the front tooth and press, which causes crowding. In addition, they can easily become inflamed because they are too far behind and the gingiva around them are not in the normal anatomical structure.

Fully impacted wisdom teeth:

They usually do not cause problems. But they need to be followed up with x-rays. Although they are fully embedded, they can press on the roots of the anterior teeth and damage the roots of our anterior teeth. In such cases, it is the best option to intervene without wasting time.

Partially erupted wisdom teeth:

They are the ones that cause the most trouble. Since they cannot come out completely, they try to come out by putting pressure on the front tooth. The piece of gum on them becomes inflamed over time due to the escape of food residues and bacterial growth. As a result of inflammation of the gum around the tooth; pain, swelling, abscess occurs. They create a suitable environment for caries.

Fully erupted 20-year-old teeth:

They usually do not cause problems, but because they are too far behind, they are difficult to brush. For this reason, it is recommended to withdraw as a preventive measure in patients whose oral care is not very good.

Treatment of 20 years old female inflammation

First of all, the inflammation in the acute situation should be chronicized with antibiotic treatment. The inflammation found here only becomes chronic with the use of antibiotics. It cannot be completely cleaned. For this reason, tooth extraction should not be abandoned after the use of antibiotics, deceiving the disappearance of the complaints. Then, these teeth should be extracted with a surgical procedure.

The healing process begins immediately after the surgery. A simple post-operative dressing helps to stop the bleeding and helps the surgical site to heal by clotting. In one or two days, the surgical site will be closed with soft tissue.

Wisdom tooth extraction;

• Extraction is done in the clinical environment but under more sterile conditions.
• For a painless extraction, anesthesia is performed and the area where the tooth is located is anesthetized. After making sure of numbness,
• The tooth is extracted.
• Afterwards, if necessary, the sutures are removed and the area is easily healed.
• Antibiotics are used if necessary. However, painkillers are used.
• If stitches are taken, the stitches are removed after 1 week.

Care recommendations after wisdom tooth extraction;

• The tampon placed in the area where the tooth erupted after extraction should be kept there for 30-60 minutes. This will provide bleeding control and clot formation.
• Do not eat or drink anything until the effect of the anesthetic has passed (approximately 2 hours).
• Take care to use the other side of the mouth for the chewing function on the first day.
• Do not tamper with the extraction area, do not pull your cheek to see or show the stitches, do not try to open your mouth too wide. Such movements can cause pain, bleeding, rupture of the sutures or tears in the gums.
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol during the day.
• Do not rinse your mouth too much, do not gargle. It causes the clot formed in the extraction area to move away.
