Hello, I am due to get my left 2nd upper molar and my right lower wisdom tooth extracted tomorrow. I am worried this will change my face shape. Any thoughts? The 2nd upper molar has been recommended for removal because it has an 8mm pocket next to it and the perio doesn't think he can stabilize it long term. The wisdom tooth is an absolute must to go. The dentist has said that he thinks the upper second molar won't be noticable (I still have the wisdom tooth up there). I'm terrified I am making the wrong decision to have it removed.
 
Not a chance it'll change your face shape.
