if i get my teeth pulled with my other teeth spread and is it worth it?

Question

i am having my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow and i have two other teeth that have chipped because apparently i have soft teeth .. and my dentist told me i should have them both pulled along with my wisdom teeth because root canals dont always work .. but everyone i talk to about getting them pulled said dont do it or my other teeth will spread what should i do ? i am tired of having to watch what i eat because it hurts when i eat ... so do i eat better or worry about spreading ?

Answer 1

Asking for dental advice here is like asking your mechanic for advice on how to bake a cake. He might be great at it, or he might not be able to recognized sliced bread. And you'll never know the difference.

Trust your dentist. He / she has studied a long time, and has passed numerous exams to get to this point in their life. He also has years of experience, too. Nobody knows the details of your case better. Yes, teeth WILL move if one is pulled. The tooth behind it might move forward, or it might tip slowly into that space. If it's a problem, the dentist will recommend a bridge or some other solution.

Answer 2

They will spread a little, but does that matter? You are not likely to have huge gaps or your dentist would be recommending braces afterwards. Anyway, ask the dentist about it. They really care about how our teeth look, as well as how healthy they are.

Answer 3

Yes, teeth shift. I had one out and waited too long to get the gap filled. Now either I must get braces to tug the offending floater back, or root canal it to straighten it out so the gap can be filled. If you aren't willing to part with your chipped teeth, please consult another dentist. There's no shame in getting a second opinion.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Teeth cannot spread, they are solid.
