Should I Remove my Wisdom Teeth if my Molars Next to It is Decaying?

May 27, 2013
Asked By:Dmle90

My dentist say I should remove wisdom teeth since they are impacting horizontally. He also suggest to get a crown on my molar next to wisdom tooth that has root canal and decay. He say I might need another root canal but say to put crown on it first before messing with the root. What would be the best thing to do? I'm scared to remove the wisdom tooth because I'm afraid of losing my molar. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
