<s>[INST] My wisdom tooth was half broken & it was not paining. So the dentist filled it witChatDoctorent. After one year, now it has started paining & the filling is getting removed in small parts when i eat something. Should i get the wisdom tooth removed or get the root canal done. Pls suggest. [/INST] Hello, your treatment depends on many factors:-1) your upper wisdom of same side is present or not- if your upper correspondent tooth is absent get it extracted. If it is present then dentist has to evaluate how complex the tooth root morphology is .2) wisdom tooth normally have curved and fused roots, so your treatment depends on the x-ray investigation. If roots are in the favorable pattern and can be negotiated prognosis will be good.3) if the decay is very deep and reached the root level get it extracted. Before any procedure get an X-ray done and check for upper wisdom. Thanks. </s>
