What gets done first, cavities filled or wisdom teeth pulled?

It depends: It depends on the size of the cavity and why the wisdom teeth need to be pulled. I usually make recommendations to my patients and let them decide which needs to be out first. If the cavity you have is close to the nerve, get the filling done so that the cavity does not reach the nerve. If it does, then you'll have to pay for a root canal.

Cavities filled 1st: Sounds like you have active decay. Dal with that first..Get your fillings done. Then proceed to evaluate the wisdom teeth.

Depends: The answer may depend upon which problem is the more urgent problem. If you have teeth that need restoring and your wisdom teeth are not symptomatic, but indicated for removal, take care of the other teeth first. If your wisdom teeth are causing a potential problem in restoring adjacent teeth or infected, have the wisdom teeth removed first.

Either: Either. Depends on what bothers you the most.

Cavities always 1st: It is important to get cavities treated as soon as possible before wisdom teeth removal. However, an infected wisdom tooth can be very very serious and the first line of treatment
