Why dentist now say not to extract your wisdom teeth?
Until now, wisdom teeth have been routinely extracted. However, recently, with patient-centered treatments, if the patient's wisdom teeth do not cause a health problem, they are not extracted. This blog provides information on this subject.
Understanding the purpose of wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth| Third molars usually appear in late adolescence or young adulthood, around the age of 20. Our ancestors needed wisdom teeth to chew hard, unprocessed foods. Although today's eating habits have reduced this need, wisdom teeth are still a natural part of our dental anatomy.
The shift in perspective
With the new perspective, wisdom teeth are protected, and excessive wear and tear on existing teeth is prevented. At the same time, patients are protected from the risks that may occur during wisdom tooth extraction.
The traditional approach to wisdom teeth removal
In the past, it was thought that wisdom teeth that were not extracted would cause problems such as gum infection and impacted teeth. Today, this perspective has changed, and patients are spared from unnecessary surgical intervention.
Individualized treatment plans
With the adoption of patient-centered dental treatments, if the patient does not have a health problem related to their wisdom teeth, no intervention is made. When wisdom teeth come out, they can cause severe pain. In this case, dentist recommends various medications to relieve the patient. However, if the patient sees problems such as infection in the gums or compression of other teeth, dentist intervenes in third molar.
Benefits of a conservative approach

- No unnecessary health expenses are made.
- No surgical intervention is required.

If there is pain, swelling, redness, cyst formation in the tooth, it is necessary to go to Turkish dentist without delay. These symptoms should be taken into consideration in wisdom tooth extraction. If the dentist deems it necessary, he performs wisdom tooth extraction in Turkey.
What happens if wisdom teeth are not extracted?

Is there any pain during wisdom teeth extraction?
Wisdom teeth have anatomically strong and large roots. For this reason, they may feel a little more pain or post-extraction pain than other tooth extraction procedures.
