Brief Answer:
Removal of tooth is the best solution in your case

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.

Well, I have seen the x rays and it shows that the wisdom tooth is almost completely horizontally erupted..
It is also appearing decayed and as it is horizontal, treatment of the tooth is very difficult..
It can even cause decay in the adjacent molar tooth ...
So it is best advisable to get the tooth removed by an Oral Surgeon...

Please write back for more queries...

Thanks.
