A difficult case, but an important reminder that one tooth can affect the health of another 🦷
In this case, the lower left third molar (wisdom tooth) was impacted, contributing to extensive mesial and occlusal caries on the adjacent second molar.
✅ Treatment involved odontectomy of the impacted lower left third molar and extraction of the badly carious second molar.
Early dental assessment and regular check-ups can help detect impacted teeth and caries before they lead to more serious problems 🦷💜🩷
