The prophylactic extraction of third molars: a public health hazard Jay W Friedman 1 Affiliations PMID: 17666691 PMCID: PMC1963310 DOI: 10.2105/AJPH.2006.100271 Abstract Ten million third molars (wisdom teeth) are extracted from approximately 5 million people in the United States each year at an annual cost of over $3 billion. In addition, more than 11 million patient days of "standard discomfort or disability"--pain, swelling, bruising, and malaise--result postoperatively, and more than 11000 people suffer permanent paresthesia--numbness of the lip, tongue, and cheek--as a consequence of nerve injury during the surgery. At least two thirds of these extractions, associated costs, and injuries are unnecessary, constituting a silent epidemic of iatrogenic injury that afflicts tens of thousands of people with lifelong discomfort and disability. Avoidance of prophylactic extraction of third molars can prevent this public health hazard. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17666691/

我们也是在小孩高中时发现智齿长歪了,于是安排将四颗智齿全部拔除。选在感恩节假期前,这样小孩可以有一周的时间休养。考虑到上大学后抽时间拔牙可能不太方便,也希望提前处理,避免以后外地读书时出现发炎或牙痛的情况。也可以每次拔一侧的智齿,这样恢复起来会相对轻松一些,供你参考。
如果你的牙医不收你们保险,就打电话给保险公司让推荐两家当地可以接受你们保险的牙医,去咨询一下。我们是4颗一起,自付金额忘记了,印象中就几百刀。
不收保险应该可以自己付完钱去claim 吧?
美国牙医很奇怪,大部分都想着拔。我洗牙的时候只有少数的不说拔。我从来不接受,好好的牙齿干嘛要拔掉。 我到现在一个蛀牙都没有,而且智慧牙都好好的
牙龈肿是不是出牙的时候?可能是正常现象
天天肿、痛而且长不出来,所以来美国念书前拔掉了,毕竟国内便宜。拔的时候特别恐怖,但我一点都不怕,还想帮着医生拿器具,把医生逗乐了。拔完很痛,喝了几天稀饭。拔智齿一定要空闲的时间去拔。
