Back Molars Not Aligned. Need To Be Removed?

HI,

I had my wisdom teeth out on Friday....I heard my docor say that he was worried about my back molars. The orginal reason i got the wisdoms out was becasue my regular dentist wanted to prevent those molars from getting bad (one was causing me pain already, and has a very large cavity underneath the filling). I have noticed that the back molars are now not in line with my other teeth at all anymore. They are all off to the side a bit, they do not touch at all when I bite down. I'm worried I now will need to have all 4 of them pulled. Will they go back to the position they were in before they had to remove the wisdm teeth(all were impacted). And I hope the taste of pus will go way too.....its just the healing right?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

According to your clinical symptoms i suspose that your wisdom tooth are not alligned properly. I would like to tell you that wisdom tooth does not have any significant role in mastication and occlussion so better to get it extracted if causing any problem.
I would suggest you to visit Oral Surgeon get an OPG radiograph and plan for the removal of the teeth.Take lukewarm saline rinses.
Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics and take antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Hope this helps out.

Regards...
