I was wondering if I should wait for my molar to erupt or go to the dentist to get my molar bridge removed before complete eruption of the molar below it to the side of the bridge.

Question-why is there a bridge placed over an unerupted molar in the first place? Do you have photos or x-rays that you can share?

Did he not take any x-rays to confirm that there was still a tooth that will eventually erupt?

I havent had xrays recently but one tooth has already erupted this one is begining to crown out of the gum. So it definently going to erupt and the crowns around the tooth feel loose and wiggly.

Definatly needs to be removed then because the tooth might actualy go partialy through it when fully erupts. The molar about to erupt looks whole so should be ok there.
