Do I need to extract this second molar.

I see a retained root of wisdom tooth lying next to the second molar. This root has a peri-apical infection that extends within the jaw both up-to and under the extracted first molar. Please get this infected root pulled out. Also I see that the TMJ space on right side is lessened compared to the left side. After extraction, you need to get this evaluated as well.

Get the infected root of the wisdom tooth extracted. You can discuss with me on Practo consult for further explanation.

it seems like you are experiencing severe pain and inflammation in your second molar and gums. It's difficult to determine the exact cause without a proper examination, but there are a few possibilities to consider: Infection: The symptoms you are experiencing, such as severe pain, swelling, and tenderness in the gums, could be indicative of an infection. Infections can occur when bacteria enter the tooth or gum tissues, leading to inflammation and pain. If there is a history of previous infections in your teeth, it's important to have this current situation evaluated by a dental professional. Periodontal disease: The presence of recurrent tartar buildup and the need for deep cleaning can be signs of periodontal (gum) disease. This condition is characterized by inflammation and infection of the gums, leading to pain, swelling, and sensitivity. It's essential to address periodontal disease to prevent further complications and preserve oral health. Other factors: It's possible that there may be other factors contributing to your symptoms, such as an underlying dental condition, occlusal (bite) problems, or referred pain from nearby structures. It's important to consult with a dentist or oral surgeon who can perform a thorough examination, review your dental history, and possibly conduct additional diagnostic tests to determine the exact cause of your symptoms. Considering the severity of your symptoms and the recurring issues you have experienced in the past, it's advisable to seek prompt dental attention. A dental professional will be able to provide a proper diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment options, which may include extraction if necessary. They can also address any concerns you have about bone infections or other possible complications. Please reach out to a dentist as soon as possible to discuss your symptoms and schedule an examination. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate advice and treatment based on your specific situation.
