Hello, I have a cavity in my wisdom tooth located in the upper left side of my mouth. I just went to the dentist (on a scheduled appointment) to have the cavity filled. While removing the cavity, the dentist told me that the cavity went to the root and is underneath the tooth (if I understood her correctly). She advised that I have it removed. She put in a temporary filling until my appointment with the oral surgeon. Prior to this procedure, I did not experience any discomfort from that tooth. Do I need to have this tooth extracted now or is it something that can wait? Also if I have it removed, generally what kind of pain should I anticipate?
Thanks
GLW
