In some cases, a specialist must offer the patient to remove a healthy tooth. Such a measure is necessary for orthodontic treatment.
Dentist Bella Musikhina spoke about this, writes Lenta.ru .
She noted that this is necessary if the size and proportions of the jaws need to be changed. In this case, wisdom teeth are usually removed.
Musikhina noted that such teeth often cannot grow properly anyway.
As the doctor noted, wisdom teeth need to be removed if you want to prevent the risk of infection or damage to surrounding teeth.
The operation should be performed as soon as possible, otherwise the position of other teeth changes and the bite becomes deformed.
Teeth also need to be removed if they have been severely damaged by caries, have cracks, and cannot be restored.
In addition, the procedure can be performed in case of injury, unbearable pain and discomfort.
