Tooth ace for wisdomteeth
I am suffering from tooth ace from last 3 days. Entire left side is paining. Some doctors are saying it's wisdom tooth in to and bottom in wrong direction. Is it really required to remove. 1yr back when i went for the same pain doctor told me it's wisdom tooth but not required to remove. Why is it that now after 1yr i need to remove.

Dear madam,
Your question seems valid. But it is difficult to comment without knowing your condition at that time. In general wisdom teeth should be removed if they erupt in an unfavourable position in the mouth because they cause damage to the adjacent teeth also.... Sorry to say but it is most dentists' observation that most patients do not agree for extraction of wisdom tooth (even if it is indicated)
until they have pain.
Next Steps
Please consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon ASAP with Xrays
Health Tips
Please don't delay it or else you may have to undergo extraction of adjacent tooth also
