All the teeth usually can be saved by a root canal treatment even if it's your wisdom tooth. If your wisdom tooth is not impacted it can be easily saved by root canal therapy. Plz don't extract it. But having said that we should see the xrays first to evaluate. Plz send me the pic of ur tooth along with xrays. Feel free to consult Laser Smile Care Centre anytime. God bless u always.

Firstly, you should know is it a wisdom tooth or not. If it's a wisdom tooth you can still plan of getting it removed, but if its your 2nd molar, do get it root canal treated at the earliest. Saving a tooth is always our prime motive and not removing it. Visit a dentist in your vicinity and your cavity checked.

Good afternoon sir, If you plan to remove the tooth then it is really challenging to replace a tooth and is expensive . I suggest you to get a root canal treatment followed by a good crown to save your tooth and last a lifetime

Hii by following your question it looks like wisdom teeth if it is impacted ( not properly erupted) Extraction is the only option if it is properly erupted then Root canal treatment can be done. Firstly, by taking an X-ray treatment is advised or confirmed. If its your second molar then definitely root canal treatment can be done depending on the damage of your tooth structure.

Extraction of the tooth can be done in virtually every case..... what you need to check is whether the tooth can be saved by root canal treatment or not..... this will require a proper clinical examination and 1 x-ray...... it will be highly recommended that you go for root canal treatment if possible and add functional life to the tooth again..... Regards.....

It's better you visit near by dentist and get his opinion.if there is sound tooth crown
than you can get the root canal done for it.if it's wisdom tooth than better get the tooth extract.
