Lower Jaw Ache (left side)

A week ago I was suffering from severe jaw ache (left side). Had a few antibiotics as prescribed by a physician due to absence of any observable teeth decay. Later I was advised to take an X-RAY as the stiffness and trouble in eating with the left side continued. A family doctor after seeing the X-ray suggests wisdom tooth removal stating it to be impacted followed by root canal of the near by tooth which has just started decaying. However, I have heard that without removing the impacted wisdom tooth, saving the partially infected tooth is possible. Kindly suggest. I have also been advised to subsequently remove all the other wisdom teeth (up and below) to avoid complications like this that "may" arise in the future.

Front tooth crooked

I have a crooked front tooth, that has lead to a small gap of around 2-3 mm in my front 2 teeth. This tooth is a bit overlapping on the one at the side, so it is not perfectly straight either. All other teeth are perfectly aligned. What are the treatment options available for me apart from braces. Please explain a bit in detail.

Are veneers permanent?

Can veneers be removed in case of discoloration or any other issue, once I get them? Also, how long/tough is the procedure in case the answer is yes?

Veneers vs retainers

If one doesn't want to get his/tooth trimmed down at all, but still wants to close the gap in front teeth, are veneers better alternatives or retainers? All other teeth are perfectly aligned, but there's just one front crooked tooth that creates this gap. So what would be faster and longer lasting out of the two? Rather how much time would each take? And approximate costs?

Composite bonding

What happens if someone gets composite bonding on front teeth and wants to get it removed later? Do they use any chemical to dissolve it or cut it via the grinder? Also, isn't there the risk of cutting real tooth in the latter?
