Is Extraction Needed For Cavity In Crooked Tooth?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
Hello sir,
My doctor has said that I have caries in my very last bottom teeth & also the teeth is little slant i.e the teeth is not straight like others & that teeth is laying down on adjacent teeth from top. Hence extraction is the only solution to this disease. Although i am not having severe pain : i feel cold only; no pain nothing is there. My doctor says it is beginning only & the infection has not reached to its bottom.
I don't want to go for teeth extraction? What do you suggest????

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The decayed tooth might be a wisdom tooth, that is non functional, If it is in a normal position then we can restore it and save it. If it is not in a normal position and if it is troubling the adjacent tooth, there is no meaning in keeping that tooth. It might get infected or it can damage the adjacent tooth also. So its better to get the tooth removed under local anesthesia. Consult a oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get it removed.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
According to your clinical symptms i suppose that you have developed infection in your wisdom tooth which is impacted, i would like to tell you that wisdom tooth is the last tooth to errupt in the oral cavity aften tilted, impacted in position, this region is difficult to clean and there are more chances of developing cavities, inflammation in the region, there is no special role of this tooth in mastication so if causing problem it is better to get it removed.....
Take care!
