A member asked:
Are people meant to remove your second molars?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure: I assume you are referring to your wisdom teeth. Certainly not everyone has to have them removed. It is often done because of potential damage to orthodontics or because they have become painful and/or infected. And not all people are recommended to do this either. I would recommend a dentist or an oral surgeon do this if needed.
