Question: Any dentists!? Can I get a second opinion please!. (Wisdom tooth)!?
Does anyone know about how common it is to have dentists remove wisdom teeth without the procedure being necessary!?
Recently my 4th wisdom teeth has been coming out and it was hurting more than the other 3 before, so I decided to see a dentist!. He got me to get an x-ray done but before he even saw the xray results he suggested me to get 4 of them removed!.!.!.
I got the xray now and I have my next apointment in a week so he can have a look and decide if we'll go through with it or not!. But before I see him I just wanted to get an second opinion on here!. I've put the link down of the scanned xray!. Can a dentist have a look at it and tell me if it looks necessery enough to get them removed!.
Thank you

I'm not a dentist, I'm a doctor!. Looking at the x-rays, I would say that the only one that obviously needs removed is the bottom left, because it's trying to grow in at an odd angle and looks as though it's already done a bit of damage to the tooth in front of it!. The other three look pretty straight and don't appear to be causing any problems!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.but then again, I'm not a dentist, sorry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
A dentist will know whether or not your wisdom teeth need to come out!. Wisdom teeth tend to cause more harm than good, but a dentist is able to tell if it is beneficial to have them removed!. Can a dentist remove them!? That I'm not sure about!. It probably depends on the expertise of the doctor!. In my case, my dentist told me all four of my wisdom teeth needed to be removed; she then recommended an oral surgeon!. The oral surgeon is the one that actually removed my teeth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
