Dear Practo User, A OPG is always better to visualize the condition of your tooth as it helps in assessing the bone level at which tooth is present and also the proximity to the nerve. These all has to be assessed thoroughly before extraction is performed to prevent injury to nerve and give you better treatment. As you can also appreciate in the X-RAY that complete tooth is not visible. So I would recommend you to go for an OPG. As per the treatment is concerned, surgical or non surgical can be decided on the basis of OPG image. To me it looks like a surgical case. Now coming to the charges, it depends upon the clinician doing the case. Go for an OPG and get this tooth extracted. Choice of your doctor should always depend on his skill and your satisfaction, never on the charges he is asking. Regards Dr Ankit Jain Arham Dental Care, Delhi

Hi..get it done by a oral surgeon. He can remove it smoothly. Cost varies. Regards

OPG will be definitely recommended in this case to visualise the case better.... to the best of my understanding, this tooth will require surgical extraction only, but I will recommend that you get the procedure done by an oral surgeon, rather than a BDS..... also you should not delay this treatment further before the symptoms aggravate..... Regards.....

Hello...wisdom tooth removal has to be done for sure as it is decayed.opg gives us more details than normal x.ray but it is optional.

This is to be extracted for sure . there is no harm getting Opg done . extraction is only solution
