Not all have the teeth for wisdom, not all who have to remove them. These third molars can indeed constitute a severe hazard to oral health for a patient, in which circumstances a dentist would probably advise the removal of wisdom teeth. Your mouth ought to be the main problem when determining whether or not to undergo treatment, but financial questions should also be taken into consideration.
You might be thinking, why is wisdom tooth necessary to extract?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth to emerge from the gums and grow behind them. These teeth normally emerge from the gums in late adolescence or early adulthood. By this stage, wisdom teeth have grown to the point where there isn’t enough room in the mouth for them to fully develop. Because of the shortage of space, wisdom teeth emerge at an unusual angle or only partially. Impacted wisdom teeth refer to the abnormal growth of wisdom teeth.
Now the question is how many teeth do you need to be extracted?
Normally we have 4 wisdom teeth, but should they all be drawn, if only single causes problems? This really is up to you. That’s everything. Yes, it can be more costly to take all of them out all at once, but in the long term, you save money because you’ll only have to pay for anesthetic. In addition, the recovery times are roughly the same for the removal of one or all 4 wisdom teeth, so you do not have to worry about being down for a long time.
