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 sir. You can get both your wisdom teeth extracted with a gap of 1- 2 weeks between the 2 extractions, you do not have to wait for 6- 7 months. The dentist has suggested the treatment plan, the ultimate decision is yours.
