I have just had a main molar removed, are the teeth surrounding it going to fall out?!


Question: I have just had a main molar removed, are the teeth surrounding it going to fall out.?
Answers:
They're not going to fall out but, if it was a first or second molar it will cause the domino affect. Your teeth will move to fill in the gap which causes your bite to change and your jaw shifts knocking the pad off that your jaw pivots on. Since you don't know that all of this is happening you don't do anything until you notice you can't get your mouth open far enough to eat a hamburger and because you don't know the pad is off your jaw has been working bone on bone. It's called TMJ, Temporomandibular joint. It doesn't happen over night so you have you time to fix the problem. On the other hand if it's a third molar which is way in the back and no teeth are hitting it in your bite you are safe. I have TMJ. I wear a splint 24hrs, taking it out to eat only. The good news is that Dentists & Orthodontists know more about the problem and have better treatment. Health Question & Answer

Your other teeth will not fall out, you just have to make sure to keep them clean and the whole area clean.
The other teeth will probably shift and move and start to fill in the gap, thus leaving your teeth with more spaces between them, but usually having 1 tooth removed will not make noticable gaps in your teeth.Health Question & Answer

I don't think so. I had a main molar fall out recently as a baby tooth (I'm 26) and although my plans are to get an implant for cosmetic reasons, I haven't done anything yet. It feels kind of weird and sometimes a chip will stab the gum tissue but my other teeth are secure so far. I'm more worried, like I said for cosmetic reasons and that my other teeth might shift to close the gap. Just brush the inner sides that used to be up against the missing tooth really well.Health Question & Answer

They might, unless you take proper precautions. Swirl a mixture of urine and gasoline in your mouth for 30 seconds, three times a say.The enzymes in this chemical will help strengthen the bonds of your root canals.Health Question & Answer
