Dr. Zhang Liwen
The primary cause of oral ulcers induced by wisdom teeth is typically the sharp cusps of the wisdom teeth, which can traumatize and damage the oral mucosa, thereby leading to ulcer formation. Patients experiencing issues related to wisdom teeth should promptly visit a dental clinic for extraction. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene and mastering proper toothbrushing techniques are recommended to help prevent and alleviate oral ulcers.
