Impacted Wisdom Tooth & Molar
I have a lower right impacted wisdom tooth which has caused damaged to adjoining molar as well. I underwent a RCT for molar few months ago but didn't complete the procedure due to time constraints. The tooth hurts sometimes, bleed sometimes and swells too, since cavity hasn't been filled with any composite material.
It might be causing decay in gum too as it swells sometimes. I avoid chewing from right side of the jaw, and have finally decided to get extraction of wisdom tooth done, and molar too if required. I reside in East Delhi, Patparganj. Please suggest the best probable thing to do for this condition.
How much is expected cost and timeline for such treatment? I plan to get it performed today!
Hello.
It would be best to comment on your condition after I look at the x ray of that region.
However the history suggests that you need to get the wisdom tooth removed and root canal treatment for the adjacent tooth if it has a good prognosis.
Tooth can be removed instantly but root canal treatment might take few appointments with your dentist.

Hello
You should visit an oral and Maxillofacial surgeon for the removal of wisdom tooth today and get the Root canal treatment completed for the second molar if it's not damaged beyond repair.Rct can be finished in one or two sittings accordingly.After the completion of RCT ,cap is mandatory which will take 2more sittings.Once these things are done you will be able to chew properly on right side too.
