Hi.. Better to remove the teeth as your dentist said.. because third molar does not have any specific significance in chewing the food, it will increase infection further.. forget the myths.

Hi Wisdom teeth is one that fails to erupt in its correct position in the given period of time As per your history it seems you have deep cavity in the wisdom teeth Wisdom teeth is the vestigial one that is not used for eating and speaking purpose... This tooth wont have perfect root morphology so there may be more chance to missing one or more canals during Root canal treatment which might get failure... It is ideal to remove the teeth

Hello, I am afraid that there might not be an option other than removing tooth (As per your explanation of the symptoms). The dentist rightly advised removing it. Also as you said the tooth adjacent to it is also getting infected, time is of the essence here. I would suggest that instead of denying the removal may be you should tell the dentist why you don’t want to remove it and what is the fear. The dentist will solve your questions about it and may be you will get a better idea about it. Moreover, removing the wisdom tooth won’t make much of a difference in your chewing or biting tasks.
