If there is a possibility to save it by filling then go for it. Although  wisdom tooth extraction is not an issue at your age.

preserving is better than removing.

Wisdom teeth till they don't trouble you keep them once they start giving trouble get rid of them. There is no rule that wisdom teeth should always be removed if the decay is small it can always be filled with appropriate filling material. There as such no risk attached with wisdom teeth removal.
