The decay of the tooth has caused the nerve to be irritated or abscessed. Treatment consists of opening the crown, removing the diseased part, then filling and sealing the tooth. In most cases the tooth can be saved in this procedure.

Why Do Wisdom Teeth Need To Be Removed?   In past times, our ancestors lifestyle was much different from ours. Life was harder, as were foods, thus they had larger teeth for tough chewing. Now our jaws are smaller, and foods softer and our wisdom teeth do not have room to fit properly in our mouth; they may become impacted which can chip or break our teeth. They can also cause gum disease or decay, can cause cysts(which can destroy jaw or teeth around the wisdom teeth) and rarely do they grow properly and remain healthy.
