WISDOM TOOTH REPLACEMENT

2017-09-24 07:43:44
My lower left wisdom tooth was extracted 15 days ago because it was slightly tilted and impinging on 2nd molar. Now I have only 31 teeth and I feel very low on confidence. I am also worried that how I will live with only 2 molars on the lower left side. Should I get an artificial tooth at the place of the extracted wisdom tooth? I am very confused and worried. Kindly help. Thank you

I appreciate that you are concerned about your teeth so much - when many are ignorant about their teeth. I feel you need not be so concerned about the corner most tooth which is of very little significance as fas as function and esthetic is concerned .

There is absolutely no need for replacement of the extracted wisdom teeth and there is no logical basis of feeling low in confidence because of that. Wisdom teeth are not considered functional and even if it was not tilted or decayed or diseased in any other way it will still be considered non-functional in regards to chewing or aesthetics. The functional set of teeth is taken as 28 teeth and the third molars are not included in that. Regards.
