Hello ma'am,
1. X ray and clinical examination
2. Properly erupted both upper and lower wisdom teeth and affected tooth is not very severely involved: rct
3. If not: extraction
Extraction is preferred over rct as the tooth may be of trouble later and it's function in the mouth is not very significant
Thank you

It is better to extract wisdom teeth that are decayed. Consult a dentist and get an X-ray done. Your dentist will do the needful

Hello mam, wisdom tooth is an extra tooth which is not used for chewing purpose... It's better to extract it... Because there are chances it may damage the adjacent tooth...
