I am 54 years old female. My upper right wisdom tooth is infected. Next to it two molars are missing. I might need two artificial teeth on that gap so might need wisdom tooth then as support. Should I get a root canal or extraction of wisdom tooth. Pls advice.

In case you wanna use it (the wisdom tooth) as a supporting tooth you need to get a root canal treatment done.

It depends on the quality of support of your tooth and its root canals. If its possible to save the tooth with root canal then you must go for it.
