Hello.
I have a big tooth problem and I count on your help and counselling, Also it's really an urgent case. I'm not from an English speaking country, so I may not be able to use specilistic terminology while describing my case, but I think you can see everything in the pictures attached.

I was directed to the facial surgery department to have my wisdom tooth removed. But after a quick glance at the x-ray which I'm also posting here, the doctor declared that she isn't going to remove my eighth tooth, although it's growing almost vertically, because the seventh tooth is rotten so badly, that it needs to be extracted first. She said that when the wisdom tooth fully gets out of the gum it will be able to compense for the lost seventh in its place. Do you think it's really possible? Can the croocked eighth tooth play any role in my mouth?

My situation isn't good, because my sixth tooth on the side is dead and it will soon fall apart if the whole work of chewing food is handed over to it :(

What is your opinion? Do you really think there's no hope for my seventh tooth? And what if the surgeon only removed the part of the gum that still covers the seventh (making it impossible to bore in) and tried to treat the seventh tooth, leaving the eighth tooth still impacted. Do you think that can be a solution?

I don't think there is a chance of wisdom tooth to move in the 7 position.
I would suggest treating the 7 and 6 and maybe extract the 8.
Check the 5 as well. Seems like having a decay under the filling but it might be a panoramic artifact.
