thousand apologies for not updating my blog for almost 3 weeks, (or more? cant recall). was too busy medicating, nursing dogs n cats, then attending surgeries.. then retrieving long-lost notes, searching for endless calls for information n stuffs. my project thesis is not fully done yet, and havn start a bit on my conference. Thank God, i finally got a case, a good one i think, on the last day of my rotation in the small animal ward. :) Praise the Lord.. ;)
today i'll be talking about wisdom tooth, hehe.. too bad for those tricked by my hanging title. :P *sengaja*
I believe tat many of us (esp young adults) are having the same prob - wisdom teeth derived pain, crooked teeth, stress..etc. for more info on the physiology of wisdom teeth, u may click here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_tooth. not sure whether the info is reliable, though.
basically wisdom teeth are the 3rd molars which started growing when we reach adulthood. some ppl got it earlier, some later. for ppl who have enough spaces on their jaw for the teeth to grow, then there's no prob for them. for ppl who unfortunately didn't have enough spaces, this spelt trouble to them (includin me) - they'll get the wisdom teeth syndrome, which included pain in the jaw, teeth, headache, mild fever for a week or so, some infection like sorethroat, and sadly, they'll start noticing their once beautifully alligned teeth (which they're proud of) started to get crooked.
the syndrome comes and goes, until the wisdom teeth grows out entirely. For people whom the syndrome never seem to go off, it keeps comin back despite the 3 (or more) years that went by.. it simply means tat there just aint enuf space for the smart teeth to grow. they have to opt for..
Remove tat teeth. surgically. which is an awfully painful procedure, despite all the analgesics n anti-inflammatory supplements, it's painful.
otherwise...
the teeth will grow onto your cheek bone - which could cause other complications, infection being one of them. Hmm... wonder is facial deformity one of it too?
