Caries in wisdom teeth is common because they are difficult to clean. If proper access to wisdom tooth is possible , they can be cleaned , filled and even root canal can be done. If all above is not possible, last resort is to extract them. You should go for proper check up and X rays to evaluate whether teeth can be saved or should be extracted. A general dentist can do extraction but for difficult/ surgical extraction Oral Surgeon is recommended.
