[|Human|] My 11 yr old daughter has several baby molars, some of which are loose, that have the adult tootChatDoctoring through already. The dentist wants us to have the baby teeth removed so the adult teeths placement isnt compromised. I question whether this is necessary as I hate to put her through this trauma if it isnt truly needed. What is your opinion?
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Was this extraction of molars advised after having done the radiograph? Are any of the molars decayed? Are the erupting molars not in position? Sometimes molars do need to be removed based on many conditions of the erupting molars. If you are worried you can have a second opinion from a periodontist and then go ahead with the extraction, if still required. If there is space loss or less space for the erupting teeth, removal of the primary molars will help provide space for eruption. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
