Wisdom teeth usually make their appearance between the ages of 17 and 21, though it's possible for them to push through earlier or later. Referred to as your "third molars," these four teeth begin to push through the skin like any other tooth, which can cause pain. However, wisdom teeth are much more likely to grow in at an incorrect angle – even sideways – causing impaction that can radiate this pain to the teeth in front of it. Kindly get it extracted as soon as possible.

Tooth decay is an irreversible damage to the tooth. Getting your teeth filled is the only option. Kindly consult a dentist in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need adv. Cleaning and artificial enamel filling or root canal treatment with a cap for deep cavities. Advance procedures can be done with laser. You may consult me in person.
