Dentists told the whole truth about wisdom teeth or “figure eights”. It turned out that a person does not have to have them removed.

People can feel great with wisdom teeth if they are healthy, do not cause concern, have completely and correctly erupted, and are accessible for cleaning.

In some cases, doctors recommend getting rid of the “figure eights” immediately. First, you should consult a dentist if there is insufficient eruption, pain and swelling of the jawbone or gums, or a risk of developing caries.

Secondly, removal is recommended if the teeth are positioned incorrectly, for example, with the root to the side. Due to pressure on neighboring teeth, the entire row will shift. In serious cases, surgery may be required. Recovery after removal usually takes about two weeks. During this period, the doctor may prescribe painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
