Growing wisdom teeth is usually something that happens after 18 years of age, when physical development has basically stopped and there may be no more growth in height. However, some people may still grow taller after getting wisdom teeth due to balanced nutrition and regular exercise. Wisdom teeth don't have much significance, and if they affect neighboring teeth, it is recommended to remove them promptly.
1. Height growth is not necessarily directly related to growing wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth usually appear between 18 and 22 years old, and some people may have them later. Nowadays, some children develop earlier, and some can grow wisdom teeth at 16-17 years old. Height growth usually occurs before 16 years old, especially for girls, while boys can continue to grow taller until their twenties.
2. Daily care for growing wisdom teeth:
① Taking X-rays at the hospital: Going to the hospital for X-rays allows you to understand the condition of your wisdom teeth in time. The doctor will give suggestions, and you can clearly see the growth of your teeth. Seek the doctor's opinion on whether to keep, remove, or correct them.
② Rest adequately: Evening is the main period for wisdom teeth growth, which can intensify pain. Therefore, it is recommended to go to bed early if you have no plans at night. This may help alleviate the pain, but make sure to clean your mouth before sleeping.
