Hello Bryanna,

once again, thank you for your time to answer my questions. Your help and reassurance were greatly appreciated. I have final update, even though I couldn't make an appointment with my dental surgeon at convenient time, I went to see a GP which has office hours at my work. She checked my mouth and throat and, hooray, told me she didn't see any infection.

I was very glad to hear this, now I only need to prepare myself for one final surgical extraction of #18 molar which is impacted completely inside the bone, but my surgeon recommended me the extraction due to possible cyst by the roots. Guess I'll do it in two months or so. After that, I'll be celebrating and hoping I won't have any further trouble with my teeth. I love visiting my dentist if it's only for regular checkup and dental hygiene

Hi Tinky,

Glad to hear that you are doing well!!!

Tooth #18 is a lower left second molar. Generally these teeth are not impacted. Do you mean tooth #17 is the one being extracted next?

Hello Bryanna,

I gave the wrong number then. It's the wisdom tooth on the upper right side of my mouth. Do you think two and half months after previous extraction should be enough time in between two extractions? The impacted tooth there is giving me no problems, but, as I've said, my surgeon told me there is something he can see on the X-ray, cyst forming and he recommended observing it and, eventually, taking it out.

Thank you!

Hi Tinky,

The upper right wisdom tooth is referred to as tooth #1 in the US. It is not too soon to have this tooth removed providing that you have healed well from the first extraction.

If the dentist sees a cyst forming at the end of the root then yes the tooth should be removed before the cyst gets larger.
