Hi
Get an xray done of wisdom tooth
It can be saved if possible but it will put pressure on the adjacent tooth and harm it. You need take treatment for both teeth.

Hello dear
Please be aware
The best treatment is the orthodontic treatment
But they are last teeth and carious also so best is to get them extracted
If they had been aligned straight best treatment was restorations or RCT
For further details you can consult me
Thanks

Hello, it's better to get it extracted because you do not use it for chewing and even if filled, maintenance of oral hygiene in that region would be difficult further leading to secondary cavities, so it's a one time permanent solution to get it extracted.

Hii.. Best way to treat decayed wisdom teeth is to remove it because it's not helpful in chewing & if food lodgement persists, it can cause decay to adjacent teeth. If there's any other decayed teeth we will advise to save it but in case of wisdom teeth it's better to get it removed.
