Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / July 2006teeth removal leading to complications
Hi, due to gum infection my dentist removed a lower jaw back tooth next to the wisdom, tooth a couple of years ago. The wisdom tooth itself had been removed many years before that. Now since the last removal, the opposing upper teeth seem to have grown longer, affecting the 'bite'. i.e. the teeth top and bottom do not sit comfortable against each other. Is this now a complicated situation? Since my dentist is very young and i guess i would prefer someone with experience if this is likely to be at all complicated. thanks for any advice. > Hi, due to gum infection my dentist removed a lower jaw back tooth next to > the wisdom, tooth a couple of years ago.

In other words, when you take out a back tooth, the opposite tooth that used to bite against it will often move into that space. It feels like that opposing tooth has "grown longer." Any dentist should be able to evaluate the situation and explain your treatment options. Best regards, - dentaldoc If many many teeth are removed this leads to macaronitis and mu****is.
