I have wisdom teeth, the left side of my chin, and my gums are very painful for almost a month. I went to the hospital for examination today. The doctor's photo said that my wisdom tooth was crooked and needed to be pulled out. The mandibular wisdom teeth are long and crooked, which often leads to the damage of the adjacent teeth in front, such as dental caries (tooth decay) and periodontitis, which is the chief culprit of the adjacent teeth damage. If the tooth is directly filled without extraction, it may lead to continued caries or even loose and falling off. You can search for "impacted wisdom teeth".

The filling of dental caries depends on the situation. If dental caries lead to pulpitis, it is necessary to do root canal treatment, which is much more complicated and expensive. The key is that teeth with pulpitis will become dead pulp teeth, and dental caries should be treated and filled in time.

If the dental caries are shallow, they can be repaired once and then extracted. If root canal therapy is needed, dental caries should be pulped first, then teeth should be extracted and then teeth should be filled.
