【单选题】Wisdom TeethWisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt. This occurs usually between the ages of 17 and 25.There remains a great deal of controversy regarding whether or not these teeth need to be removeD、It is generally suggested that teeth that remain completely buried or un-erupted in a normal position are unlikely to cause harm. However, a tooth may become impacted due to lack of space and its eruption is therefore prevented by gum (齿龈), bone, another tooth or all three. If these impacted teeth are in an abnormal position, their potential for harm should be assesseD、What are the Indications for Removing Wisdom Teeth Wisdom teeth generally cause problems when they erupt partially through the gum. The most common reasons for removing them are: DecaySaliva, bacteria and food particles can collect around an impacted wisdom tooth, causing it, or the next tooth to decay. It is very difficult to remove such decay. Pain and infection will usually follow.Gum InfectionWhen a wisdom tooth is partially erupted, food and bacteria collect under the gum causing a local infection. This may result in bad bream, pain, and swelling. The infection can spread to involve the cheek and neck. Once the initial episode occurs, each subsequent attack becomes more frequent and more severe.Pressure PainPain may also come from the pressure of me erupting wisdom tooth against other teem. In some cases this pressure may cause the erosion of these teeth.When is theBest Time to Have Wisdom Teeth Removed It is now recommended by specialists mat impacted wisdom teeth be removed between the ages of 14 and 22 years whether they are causing problems or not Surgery is technically easier and patients recover much more quickly when they are younger. What is a relatively minor operation at 20 can become quite difficult in patients over 40. Also the risk of complications increases with age, and the healing process is slower.Should a Wisdom Tooth be Removed When anAcute Infection is Present Generally, no. Surgery in the presence of infection can cause infection to spread and become more serious. Firefly, the infection must be controlled by local oral hygiene (卫生) and antibiotics (抗生素).The Pro’’s andCon’’s of Wisdom Tooth RemovalSome Pro’’s of Removing a Wisdom Tooth:Wisdom teeth may be hard to access with your toothbrush. Over time, the accumulation of bacteria, sugars and acids may cause a cavity to form in the tooth. If it is not restored with a filling, the cavity(洞) may spread and destroy more tooth structure causing severe consequences to the tooth and surrounding supportive structures. Due to the difficulty of keeping these teem clean with your daily home care, bacteria and food debris remaining on the wisdom teeth may present a foul smell-causing bad breath.
A、wisdom tooth that is still under the gums in a horizontal position (rather than a vertical position) may exert pressure to the surrounding teeth, causing crowding and crooked teeth. This also may occur if there is not enough space in the mouth for the wisdom tooth. This may warrant braces to repair the damage.SomeCon’’s of Removing the Wisdom Teeth: Depending on the size shape and position of the tooth, removal can vary from a simple extraction to a more complex extraction. With a simple extraction, there is usually little swelling and/or bleeding. More complex extraction will require special treatment which may result in more bruising, swelling and bleeding. However, your dental professional will provide you with post treatment instructions to minimize these side effects.Following an extraction, a condition called "dry socket" may occur. If the blood clot (凝结) that formed in the extraction area becomes removed, it exposes the underlying bone. This condition is very painful, but resolves after a few days. It is preventable by following the post treatment instructions provided by your de
