Small cavity in wisdom tooth, dentist says I can get a filling?

[honeybee91]

Yesterday was my first exam and x rays in 8 years and I was told bad news. I have periodontal disease and today I’m doing my first Deep cleaning. The dentist examined all of my teeetj carefully and looked at the pictures and x rays and said two of my wisdom teeth need to be pulled and one molar. He did say one wisdom teeth fully erupted and has a tiny cavity. He said “I can pull it or fill it. I would recommend pulling it but you can get a filling since the decay is small” a part of me wants to keep the tooth if it can be saved but I don’t know if that’s the best choice?

Ask your dentist to explain the pros and cons and decide from there? You're paying them for their expertise, make them earn it
