Wisdom teeth
Hi,
It is found in my OPG report that I have 2 wisdom teeth at both the end of lower jaw. Both the teeth are vertically alligned & doctor has advised to extract both at a time. My question is that should I extract both at the same time or I should go for one by one extraction at a gap of 6-7 months?
Thanks in advance
hello,
you can do warm salt water rinses as a home remedy. this will give you temporary relief from pain. the best treatment for wisdom tooth is to get it removed. you can get it done one at a time. a gap of 1-2 weeks can be kept between the two. consult an oral surgeon,

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
It's your choice how you want to get it done.
Dentist has given his opinion, now it's upto you to either go with his opinion or not. Either way it's fine.
