Wobbly Molar tooth next to Wisdom (impacted) tooth, what should I ask my dentist if i want to keep my set of teeth intact
Hello Dentist/s. I (23F) discovered today that my molar tooth next to my wisdom tooth is visibly shaky. I've had my wisdom tooth for a while now and it took a while to get the budget to have it fixed.
I feel like there has been some decay somewhere between the second molar and wisdom tooth since i have already felt sensations even before. Also the location of the said is at the bottom left side.
Basically, what I want to say is that if I'm gonna lose some tooth, limit it to 1.
my questions are:
- Do i need to have my second molar removed too?
- If the tooth is wobbly, does it mean its hopeless?
- is it possible to replace my second molar with the impacted wisdom tooth?
- is the question above possible ij the Philippines? cuz I live here and I assume that practices may be different from country to country.
- What if I dont want to lose my second molar, what are the possible treatments available and how do i communicate it with my dentist?
I appreciate your response.
