Hi Visasri,
I understand your concern. Usually we do extract the extra teeth in the mouth which are also called supernumerary teeth. They usually try to displace your teeth that are aligned nicely,they might cause crowding too to make space for themselves.
and maintaining hygiene in that area is also a little difficult.
This is what I can advice you..... let's say if your extra tooth is in line with your other teeth i.e., it's not erupted to the side and it's not a problem for you right now, than I would like you to maintain the area well by brushing... use a baby tooth brush which can reach that area well.
If it's erupted to the side (towards cheek), there are more chance of your molars getting decayed in future... so go head and get it removed. Because anyway it's a non-functional tooth and you will have less maintenance in that area later.

Hope I have answered your question. If you need any further advice regarding this matter or anything else... do post it here.

Regards

 

Hi SimpleMom,

These are the precautions that can be taken care on a daily basis:

1) Brushing twice daily with Flossing.If possible a gently brushing after every meal too, to wash of any food residues in the mouth.

2) Use of Anti-bacterial mouthwashes

3) Having foods rich in Vitamin C. These help the gums to be healthy.

4) Having Calcium Supplements for the bone.

5) Drink lots of fluids, since diabetic patients experience dry mouth and this can lead to infections and tooth decay.

6) Dental Checkup at a 6-8 months interval. Get a Professional cleaning done at the time of visit…any plaque/calculus deposits will be removed which cannot be removed with brushing.
