Hi. My left side lower wisdom tooth is paining. But it is deep inside jaw and very close to nerves 90% chances are there that it may damage the nerves while extraction hence my doctor is not recommended surgery. He suggest to remove second molar so that wisdom can grow and once it is far from nerves we can remove it. But after taking second opinion other doctor suggested to go for surgery as it is 50 -50 chances that wisdom will grow. If it stop growing and pain is also there then you have to go for surgery and also loose your tooth unnecessary. Now m confused please suggest.

I would say go for d removal of third molar by a specialist that is Oral Surgeon. As for growing, if it's inside the jaw it might not grow.

Removing functional second molar to make space for impacted wisdom tooth would be a blunder. Most of the times a person who?s is incapable to remove wisdom tooth would suggest this idiotic plan. Please visit a Maxillofacial Surgeon, Let him assess and tell you the probability of nerve injury. If the tooth is lying so deep fully covered with mucosa then what?s the need for it?s removal.
