I wish!: You probably are not alone in wishing this, but unfortunately, you may need your dentist to evaluate the "hole" in your wisdom tooth that needs to be filled. While you may not have any symptom from this at the moment, but left untreated it may cause more severe problem to cause more pain and detriment to your health.

Fear of dentist: A dentist will be able to tell you your options for that tooth. Most wisdom teeth need to be pulled out. Dentistry has come along way and can be quite painless. Get the tooth checked out.

Hole = Decay: You may want to consider hypnosis or possibly sedation dentistry. Visits with a therapist may also work to allow you to be treated. Either way, failure to treat will only make matters worse. All the best...
