Hi, I am a 20 year old healthy male that has all 4 wisdom teeth and I had two root canals on my lower 28. Unfortunately I will have to extract the lower 28 after all the work ive done on it. I hate the fact that i will have to walk around with a titanium rod in my mouth for 4-6 months. I was wondering if it is possible that I Remove 3 wisdom teeth along with the lower 28, then got braces to move over my other teeth and make room for my wisdom tooth (on the lower right not coming in compacted) to come in and act as a molar. If this is possible I would rather do this than have a false tooth in my jaw. I ask online because I dont want any bias from my dentist or the surgeon.
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. Yes it is possible to get extracted all wisdom tooth, but it should not be done on the same appointment. But if the dentist is mentioning that 28 needs to be extracted then there must be some infection left in the apical region of tooth which will create problem in the future. Better you should go with the dentist as he must have diagnosed all the conditions. Hope it will help you.
