“Wisdom teeth extraction or filling?”
Little background I had braces when I was 13 removed at 15. I had 4 of my adult teeth removed two on the top and two on the bottom to make room because I had a issue with crowding priory to braces. When I had the braces removed my ortho told me don’t rush to have my wisdom teeth taken out when I get older because I have a lot of space in the back.
Fast forward, I kept my wisdom teeth (1 tooth is kind of impacted partially under gum. I was okay for the longest time no pain or anything. However now at age 28 is have developed cavities on two of them one being the impacted tooth.
Being 4 teeth short already will removing all my wisdom teeth cause any negatives long term when I get older. Should I consider trying to save the wisdom teeth instead of extracting?
