Wisdom teeth growth may be normal during pregnancy.

Are wisdom teeth normal during pregnancy?

Changes in hormone levels during pregnancy may promote wisdom teeth growth. Elevated estrogen and progesterone levels may affect the growth cycle of teeth, causing wisdom teeth that are originally dormant to begin to erupt. In addition, pregnant women

should pay special attention to oral hygiene during pregnancy, keep their mouths clean, rinse their mouths promptly after meals, and brush their teeth carefully. If symptoms such as wisdom tooth pain occur, they should seek medical attention promptly. Doctors will weigh the pros and cons according to the specific circumstances and choose a relatively safe treatment method. At the same time, pregnant women should also adjust their mentality and actively cooperate with doctors' treatment and suggestions to minimize the impact of wisdom teeth problems on pregnancy.
