Is it better to have a big tooth extracted or not?



If the big teeth are the first or second permanent molars, they have retention value and it is good not to extract them; if the big teeth are wisdom teeth, they have no retention value and it is good to extract them. However, the specific situation should be determined after examination by a doctor.

1. If the large teeth are the first or second permanent molars and there are abnormalities such as caries or toothache, loosening, etc., since the first or second permanent molars are indispensable teeth for daily chewing, you should try to retain the teeth when there are abnormal dental problems, and restore the large teeth to good health through fillings and treatments.

2. The big teeth are wisdom teeth, and there are toothaches, caries and other discomforts. Since wisdom teeth are extra teeth, removing them will not affect the normal chewing function of the teeth, and leaving them behind will only jeopardize the neighboring teeth, and at this time, you can consider removing the big teeth.

It is important to consult a dental professional when considering extraction due to large teeth health issues.
