Cavities and misdirected growth
I am a 23 years old male with 3 cavities in molar teeth, 2 in lower jaw both sides and one in upper right side, and 2 misdirected wisdom teeth growth in both sides of lower jaw. I have had a dental history. I had 5 fillings and 2 teeth extractions in my teenage. Last year I underwent surgery to remove my upper left misdirected wisdom tooth and an RCT for upper left molar tooth. What should I do now to get my dental issues fixed and how can I maintain my dental health in future ?
Get a dental check up every 6 months and get your scaling and polishing done once a year. If you have not fixed a crown on your root canaled tooth then you should do that. Any cavities in the mouth should be filled.
