Pain due to wisdom tooth
Hi Doctor,
I am attaching my xray report of my right bottom tooth. I consulted 2 doctors and they told me that my wisdom tooth is tilted and its pushing adjacent tooth. Wisdom tooth created decay in my adjacent tooth. Now wanted to confirm if this issue can be fixed by grinding wisdom tooth and filling the decay area in adjacent tooth.
Please suggest me any non painful treatment.
Highly appreciate your help,
Prashant

You need to get the wisdom tooth extracted.
And also the adjacent tooth is carious which can be treated with a restoration.
