Is it really necessary to remove wisdom teeth? in turkey, istanbul

"For wisdom teeth that become swollen, abscessed or inflamed at the most unexpected times and manifest themselves with severe pain, it is necessary to consult a dentist before pain or abscess occurs."

Prof.Dr. Mehmet Oguz Oztoprak



Is it really necessary to remove wisdom teeth?

One of the most curious and discussed topics about dental health in society is the lack of information about the function of wisdom teeth and whether or not to have them extracted. Why do wisdom teeth remain impacted and cannot come out? Or is it no longer needed? Why does my dentist want to extract it? In fact, wisdom teeth did not cause any problems when looking at the tooth alignment of ancient people, that is, ancient people's tooth alignments were more straight and their wisdom teeth came out without any problems and there were no crooked teeth, so why do we have such a problem today?

Wisdom tooth removal: When is it necessary?

When chewing hard and fibrous foods, the teeth stretch more and this causes a gap between the teeth as a result of wear between the two teeth. In this way, the wisdom teeth from the back can come out easily. However, the manufactured foods, soft bread, meat cooked in a pressure cooker or cream cheese that we consume today do not stimulate our teeth. In other words, there is no need for our teeth to act as shock absorbers. For this reason, teeth cannot be worn down by friction and there is no room left behind for wisdom teeth.

Our teeth cause crooked digestion and chewing disorders. Being able to chew properly is very important for the correct grinding process. If the remaining wisdom teeth do not come out, they may cause crowding by putting pressure on other teeth. When wisdom teeth are not extracted, serious joint problems may occur. In addition, jaw surgeons rightfully want to remove these teeth as the teeth that cannot come out or half come out damage the neighboring teeth, cause odor due to food residues and form cysts in the bone.'

Not removing wisdom teeth brings with it some risks. Serious joint problems, bad breath, and cysts are some of these risks. The way to eliminate these risks is to have wisdom teeth removed by jaw surgery.
