What happens if you get a cavity on your wisdom teeth?

I have a cavity on my wisdom tooth. What should I do? Can I get a filling?

You can fill it sometimes, but usually easier and better to just pull it.
If the wisdom tooth is in a good position and does not need to be removed for any reason then you can and should get the tooth repaired. Untreated it will progress to a larger more complex repair
Yes you can get a filling.It is just like any other tooth.
If wisdom teeth are erupting normally and you can clean them, don't remove them. So treat it like any other tooth, and have it restored.
