# Dentist visit 2026-08-10

I visited a dentist after many years. Made a first visit to a new dentist.

Main
 - Recommended wisdom extraction, but not mandatory. Otherwise later on wisdom teeth might push the other teeth and you may have to wear aligners again.
 - Did a deep cleaning
 - Says fixed retainer will naturally fall off in some months / years. Nothing to be explicitly done about it. Upper wire is broken and there is a small gap in the teeth (that can't be fixed now), lower wire is intact. He said previous dentist has done a good job with braces
 - Recommended a toothpaste and mouthwash for sensitive teeth
