\r\n\t\t\t\tWhat are wisdom teeth?\t\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t

Wisdom teeth are the four third molars found in the back of your mouth. Although the majority of the population is said to have all four, it is possible for some people to never develop one or even all four molars. It is believed that in ancient times, wisdom teeth helped our ancestors break down coarse food like roots and leaves. With time and evolution, humans developed a narrower jaw and, of course, a different diet. Wisdom teeth now have no use.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\r\n\t\t\t\tWhy should you remove them?\t\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t

Wisdom teeth are commonly removed given the pain and discomfort they may cause. For instance, they may press against your other teeth. There may also not be enough space in your mouth for your wisdom teeth to grow properly. More serious complications may also arise, namely:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Cyst formation, causing jaw damage;
\n\u2022 Eruption of the gum tissue, causing infection and\/or inflammation;
\n\u2022 Damage to other teeth;
\n\u2022 Teeth misalignment;
\n\u2022 Cavities due to swollen gums.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

Wisdom teeth are usually removed during the early years of adulthood, around the ages of 18 to 25, although this will differ from one individual to another.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Just like any other surgery, recovery is different for everyone. Most people feel little to no pain right after the wisdom teeth extraction, although it is likely to experience swelling and mild discomfort for the following days. Here are some tips for a quicker recovery:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Use an ice pack on your jaw to ease with the swelling;
\n\u2022 Eat soft foods such as soup and pasta;
\n\u2022 Drink lots of water;
\n\u2022 Be extra careful when brushing your teeth; avoid brushing on stitches;
\n\u2022 Take the drugs prescribed by your dentist consistently.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Complications may possible arise after removing wisdom teeth, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Use an ice pack on your jaw to ease with the swelling;
\n\u2022 Dry socket, which occurs when the blood clot is not formed properly after the extraction;
\n\u2022 Infection in socket due to bacteria formed by food particles;
\n\u2022 Damage to nerves, other teeth and jawbone.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
