Well, yes it can be damaging to the opposing tooth or teeth.

It's not just the second molar, but loss of a premolar or molar teeth in one jaw, can and

and will in all likelihood cause the supra eruption of the opposing tooth.

To put it simply, suppose you lose a molar in the lower jaw, then the molar opposite it will have nothing to come in contact against while you chew. So over a period of time the upper tooth will slowly descend into the now vacant spot of its old friend!

Initially you may not notice it but slowly it becomes painful sometimes severely so.

Also because of the shift in position of the supra erupting tooth it may become conducive to lodgement of food debris.

Doesn't sound very pleasing does it?

To avoid all this it would be best to replace the lost tooth without much delay and get on with life.

Does getting a bottom molar pulled hurt and for how long?

It doesn't "hurt" if you're placed under IV sedation (Oral surgeon). If it's "local" anesthesia, then the only thing that hurts is the injection of novacaine. The actual pulling of the molar doesn't hurt.

Getting a body piercing is going to hurt regardless of where it is on your body. There are of course areas that are more sensitive then others. If you have a properly trained piercer providing the piercing it will diminish the amount of pain you feel.


Your 7 year old has a back molar growing in and has had a slight fever and dizzyness Could this be related to the molar growing in?

My 7 yr has also had a slight fever due to his molar trying to come out. Just give him some children's motrin, and rinse/ garggle with warm salt water. If swelling keep away from crunchy. Snacks might hurt the gum that has swelling. If it continues to hurt him. You should take him to dentist to check for infection.
