should i extract my wisdom tooth?i am so afraid of the surgery. madness. my mum said its a must. if not when it decay will hurt like siao.
but based on research... I should.
"Dental plaque will accumulate in this hidden space and, unfortunately, there is no way for a person to effectively clean it out. As a result, from time to time the bacteria contained in the dental plaque can cause an active infection, which then spreads to the tissues surrounding the wisdom tooth. Dentists give the name "pericoronitis" to this type of infection."
"However, you may ask yourself, if your wisdom tooth has not given you any problems so far why should you have it extracted? The answer is simple. It will most likely cause problems farther down the road. You will never know when these problems may arise so it’s better to just deal with the situation rather than wait for it to get worse before taking any action. It is also advisable to remove the wisdom teeth at an age when you’re in better health so you’re in a better position to endure the healing process."
yes i will be getting my braces soon.
this is so costly. i gonna spend 4 grands plus on it..
