It is better to get all cavities filled in due time before the decay reaches the pulp and causes further damage of tooth structure.
Also get your wisdom tooth evaluated and get it treated if it needs to.
Health Tips
Do not wait for another episode of swelling. Wisdom tooth can be quite notorious and the swelling and pain associated with it are quite painful
