I recently went to my dentist for a check up and cleaning and he mentioned that I have 2 impacted wisdom teeth in my lower jaw. The dentist did not push me to have them removed but did suggest I go see an oral surgeon to be evaluated.
Went to go see 2 different oral surgeons to get different opinions. Both said one wisdom tooth near nerve and that the tooth is actually sitting on top of the nerve. I am 30 years old so they warned recovery could be long and they warned about nerve damage. One of the oral surgeons actually suggested I leave them alone and just keep the area clean to avoid cavities.
I have attached the panoramic x-ray that was taken. Having hard time making decision because they both said its up to me since the teeth are not giving me any issues or pain at the moment. I would appreciate any advice or recommendations.
Thanks
