My Wisdom Tooth Is Growing Slanted Into My Molar. Is There Any Risk In Having It Removed?
Q.
Hi. I went to dental for an X-ray for my painful tooth recently. My Doctor says my wisdom tooth is growing slanted and is moving into the second molar. But the wisdom tooth still looks okay. Just that second molar along is starting to decay. I thought I’d just be able to pluck out the second molar that’s having pain. But in order to save money I am able to use Medisave, I’ve been advised to pluck out the wisdom tooth beside it as well. I really don’t know what should do. I’m 24. Will there be any risk with this type of procedure? Thank you for your reply in advance.
