Will Top Tooth Fall Out On Its Own If Lower Tooth Is Extracted?
i am gettin told that I need a root canal on my bottom right back tooth and I want to pull it off because my wisdom tooth needs to come out still but they tell me that if i pull it the top tooth will fall out eventually because it has nothing to compress with

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Read your query.
Yes, if you go for extraction of the tooth ,the opposite tooth will loose its opposite forces and tend to move down,unless you get missing tooth after removal replaced.
It may fall out gradually .
I would advice you to get the tooth root canal treated if it can be saved,as that is better than extraction of the tooth.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
