Has anyone had canine teeth removed ...there like the two pointy teeth on either side of the 4 front flat teeth!
I'm worried that my dentist removed the wrong teeth!
xxXXxx
LOL canine are the most important teeth in your mouth and they're rarely the extraction choice in Orthodontics. Though there are some cases in wich the teeth has to be removed (too damaged or badly positioned).
Premolars are usually the chosen ones, the also go by the name of biscupids. They are the two teeth behind the canines, right before ur molars.
I hope he didn't extract the wrong teeth
Good Luck
