Dental crown with an impacted wisdom tooth, any suggestions? (Photo)

Asked By:Helpful825680 in Millersville, MD

I am 38 years old and recently cracked my back left molar. The dentist I visited fit a temporary crown and referred me to an oral surgeon to have my wisdom tooth removed before fitting for a permanent crown. The oral surgeon doesn't want to remove the tooth due to my age and the potential for nerve damage based on my xrays. The dentist now wants me to visit a different oral surgeon that will remove the tooth. Who should I trust more?

Answer: Nerve Damage can be permanent! Consider leaving tooth in or sectioning tooth.
