Ahn Jae-hyun, who was trembling with fear, got a puffy face after receiving ‘this surgery’… How much does it hurt?

Model and actor Ahn Jae-hyun (37)’s swollen face after wisdom teeth extraction was revealed.

On the MBC entertainment program ‘I Live Alone’ that aired on the 8th, Ahn Jae-hyun visited a dentist to have his wisdom teeth extracted. Jaehyun Ahn had all four wisdom teeth. Just before the tooth extraction, Ahn Jae-hyun’s systolic blood pressure was 131 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure was 85 mmHg. The director asked, “Isn’t Ahn Jae-hyun’s blood pressure quite high for you?” and Ahn Jae-hyun said, “I’m nervous because it’s my first love.” Jaehyun Ahn underwent wisdom tooth extraction surgery while holding a doll in his arms. After the tooth extraction was completed safely, he raised his thumb in an exhausted manner. Jeon Hyun-moo, who saw a clear change in appearance due to swelling after tooth extraction, said, “I think the swelling is better.” When he arrived home, he took a rest with gauze in his mouth. Two hours later, he took out some cold ice cream, remembering the advice he had received at the dentist. He ate vanilla ice cream sprinkled with olive oil, pepper, and salt. Afterwards, I used an ice pack to reduce the swelling.

Wisdom teeth are the teeth that grow in the innermost part of the mouth. The correct name is ‘third molar’. Like Jaehyun Ahn, there are cases where it appears in all four places, up, down, left, and right, and in other cases, it only appears in one or two locations. There are also people who do not grow at all. Wisdom teeth usually appear after puberty in the late teens or early 20s. It may be confirmed as late as late 20s or 30s.

If your wisdom teeth grow straight like other teeth, there is no need to extract them. You can take good care of it by brushing your teeth. However, since it is located deep and is difficult to manage, dentists sometimes recommend tooth extraction as a preventive measure. If your wisdom teeth erupt at an angle to the side or often get stuck in food, you should consider extraction. In addition, if it is difficult to treat the surrounding molars because of the wisdom tooth, or if a lump around the wisdom tooth is suspected, the tooth should be extracted.

Impacted wisdom teeth that have not fully emerged from the gums may require surgery. It is dangerous to extract a tooth because it is close to the neural canal. The procedure must be performed after checking the neural tube and tooth roots in detail through X-ray imaging or CT (computed tomography). If the nerve surface is damaged during a tooth extraction, temporary numbness may occur. Usually recovery occurs within a few weeks or months. Depending on the degree of damage, medication and physical therapy may be administered.

When a wisdom tooth is removed, the face may swell or cause pain. Difficulty opening your mouth wide. Bruising may appear at the surgical site 2-3 days after tooth extraction. You can relieve pain and symptoms by applying ice. If symptoms persist over time or the pain is severe, you should visit a hospital. Avoid strenuous exercise, smoking, and drinking until the tooth extraction site heals. Straws should also not be used. It puts pressure on the gums and prevents the tooth extraction site from healing. Alveolar osteitis, which causes severe pain, may occur.
