Hello! Last week, I went to the dentist for the first time in twenty years. The 3D xray, not the regular, showed a lot of black in one wisdom tooth up into the gum. Never had any pain in the tooth whatsoever, though. The other wisdom tooth showed nothing in either xray, although dentist noticed a little decay with visual exam.
Today I went back to see another dentist at the same practice about the wisdom teeth. He said they weren't impacted and he didn't see any cavities or anything. (not sure he looked at the 3D photos) He then said while it wouldn't be a bad idea to get the teeth removed at some point, it was not an urgent thing.
So, needless to say, I'm a bit confused here. Do I need to get the teeth removed even if there's no pain and they aren't impacted? Would a filling be sufficient? I rather not get them removed if I don't have to. Thank you!
