One more question please.
Can a dentist tell from digital xrays whether a wisdom tooth has roots wrapped around a jaw bone. Aslo can they tell from xrays if the tooth is near a nerve.
In other words can a dentist after reading xRays tell if an extraction will be routine or more complicated.
My tooth is a right lower wisdom tooth that is fully errupted and the molors in front of it were extracted many years ago so it is kind of serving as a molor but is positioned slightly forward, It has had a previous filling and now has a cavity on the outer side at the gum line and has some likely abcess (although no swelling and toothache that comes and goes).
Thanks in advance for any help.
