Yes: A Dentist can examine you, determine exactly what's wrong, and tell you what treatment modalities are available. Please, you have to be examined, not "computered."

Wisdom tooth: In many cases wisdom teeth should be extracted due to complications associated with the presence of tooth decay. It is a common procedure, generally performed under local anesthesia, intravenous (IV) sedation, or general anesthesia by a specially trained dentist or oral surgeon. Often extracting a wisdom tooth is the best solution. See your dentist for x-ray and evaluation.
