Hi salkan,

The second to last molar can be either your first or second molar...depending on if you have your wisdom tooth or not. The replacement of this tooth depends on how your bite comes together and if you are missing any other teeth. This is something your dentist can check very easily and explain your replacement options.

Hope the extraction goes well..... please keep us posted.
