Wisdom tooth pain
Hello Doctors,
I'm having pain in my left wisdom tooth. Got it checked from nearby doc and since I have a cavity or some black portion, i have been further advised to get extracted.
Actually frankly speaking I'm afraid of this and was just wondering if this can be avoided or treated by medicine? Or is it like it will impact other teeth as well? How long can I wait for the extraction?

Hi!
I would like to see a picture of your wisdom tooth, if possible. To check if it is fully erupted.

Hello sir
Its not wise to keep an infected tooth inside your mouth for long as it can lead to sudden pain/swelling or discomfort. It can affect adjacent teeth if not removed . Its best you get ot removed by a good dentist . Dont worry extractions are not at all painful if done properly.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist

Yes ,if you gonna avoid it now it will damage the adjacent teeth also. You should get it remove early before it worsens the condition. And the extraction is painless, so don't worry about the procedure. If you delay then it can create problems.

hello, because they're hard to clean, they may be more vulnerable to tooth decay and gum disease, If your wisdom tooth is inaccesable for brushing its better to get it removed. Extraction will be done under local anesthseia and is painless, you might experience slight pain post extraction which is normal.
