Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had done an OPG. My dentist says to remove the wisdom tooth on both lower sides of the jaw. I do not have pain in the wisdom tooth. But I feel pain in the left side molar. My doctor has advised RCT for that molar tooth after removing the wisdom tooth present on both sides. What can I do now? Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your OPG (orthopantomogram) shows that your lower wisdom tooth is impacted or tilted. They are putting pressure on the other molars. So it is advisable to remove them as soon as possible to prevent further damage to other teeth.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
