Filling on Wet Area of Wisdom Tooth

[1.T]

Is it possible to do filling on a moist area of the upper left wisdom tooth to avoid extraction?

 

[MattKW]

Well, you could use an amalgam. But if you have decay in a place that's hard to clean, then it's quiter likely you'll get decay there again. If the wisdom tooth is redundant, it's better to take it out while there's something to grab onto.

It is not possible to do a filling on a moist area of a wisdom tooth to avoid extraction. If a tooth is decayed or damaged, a filling may be a viable option. However, if the tooth is severely damaged or impacted, extraction may be necessary. During the extraction, the area will be numbed with local anesthesia, and the dentist or oral surgeon will work to remove the tooth as gently and efficiently as possible. After the extraction, gauze will be placed over the area to help control bleeding, and ice packs may be used to reduce swelling. It is important to follow post-operative instructions carefully to promote healing and prevent complications. If you have concerns or questions about the extraction process, it is best to discuss them with your dentist or oral surgeon.
