There's no scope of saving the tooth if the caries has already extended deep inside. Extraction of third molar is a common procedure. Moreover there's no need of replacing the tooth.
Next Steps
Kindly follow what your dentist says.
Health Tips
Follow post extraction instructions Take medicines as prescribed Do not apply balm in case of swelling. Contact your doctor if any problem persists.

If the caries have reached the root then extraction should be done. 3re molar extractions are done quite routinely. If any major concern or fear... Get extraction done from MDS oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
