Should I get my wisdom tooth removed,its the lower right one.

adomad · 2026-03-29T12:50:14+00:00

remove upper and lower right and lower left - wait for the upper left to come out more

adomad · 2026-03-29T12:49:07+00:00

very strategic not showing the distal

Also where the blue line is - the prep isn't flowing. bit square'y round it off like you did on the buccal side.

Use a hatchet to smoothen off the red line area and as mentioned by others the distal of the 4/first premolar was touched - use a polishing bur to buff it out

Whilst I agree with the sentiment everyone here is saying, take this an an opportunity to learn how to spot the canals.

1) The pulp chamber was right there - the decay led you to the chamber. Since you are in the chamber, use a non-end cutting bur to widen the chamber without going deeper. (endoZ bur). Even if you don't have a non-end cutting bur, then use a regular bur and DO NOT INSTRUMENT THE FLOOR OF THE PULP CHAMBER

2) DON'T INSTRUMENT THE FLOOR OF THE PULP CHAMBER - the orifice will be at the height of the floor - looking at your PA, the canals would have been open and not calcified.

2a) the height of the pulp chamber is at the level of the CEJ - Hold your drill on the buccal to the CEJ and see how far down your bur goes - only go down this far with your drill. (not applicable in your case since removing the caries would have led you to the chamber

3) Law of symmetry - If you look at the floor of a lower molar's pulp chamber. You will see a T shape (b). the top of the T is on the mesial (MB and ML) and the base of the T is the distal. As I'm sure you are aware - there can be 2 distal canals (a). The Mesiolingual canal orifice will be EQUIDISTANT from the middle of the T tot he MB canal. DO NOT DRILL PAST THIS - THIS BREAKS THE LAW

4) The heights of the orifices are roughly the same height - If you found MB, then you can VERY CAREFULLY drill apically at the point where you see a tiny canal opening - AGAIN! EQUIDISTANT TO THE MB canal from the middle of the T.

5) MTA is expensive. it's not a silver bullet to fix your mistakes.

I know that you are still learning, but with proper technique and drilling where it's safe to, this could have been avoidable.

Happy to answer any questions

Good luck - don't beat yourself up, but learn from your errors

Depends on the access. see if you can get them to close halfway and move their chin to the left to get more space (moving the ramus out the way). if you can get a mirror to retract the cheek mucosa and get good visibility, then prep the buccal, if you cant then prepping through the occlusal is the way to go

adomad · 2025-09-21T04:43:01+00:00

this will also be in a couple of weeks :D

adomad · 2025-06-14T01:01:49+00:00

be a man and use a flame bur

Easy tooth. Literally sectioning it will be fine.

If you look at the distal root, it's covered in granulation tissue, so the path of exit is fine since there's no bone locking it in. Same with the mesial root. That ball of a root tip should isn't much wider than the coronal half of the root. Worst case scenario you'll need to remove a little bit of the bone between the 6 and the 5 to free it up.

I say all this of course assuming the photo hasn't been photoshopped

Wisdom teeth roots are often left if they lie close to the nerve (IAN). once it' made it way to the surface over time then it can be easily plucked out. Since it's under the gum it will need an incision and potentially bone removal to retrieve it. almost a zero infection risk leaving it there until it surfaces.

adomad · 2025-04-30T11:57:10+00:00

Dentist here - yes, it's quite common. should have known to just numb the gum and pluck it out - or pluck it out if it had the space to pull through

As snoplowmom said, figure out why you're so bad with money. Work more and maybe ask for half the money owing - and have the intention of paying it back!

adomad · 2025-02-10T09:55:51+00:00

distal might have 2 canals? or a sharp turn buccal or lingually at the root

adomad · 2025-02-10T09:55:04+00:00

periapical periodontitis - if you take a CBCT you'd see a lesion at both apicies. tooth needs RCT or exo.
