Suggest Remedy For Dental Problems

Hi, I have a molar (right side bottom, 2nd from rear) that has broken off on an angle & i alredy seen the dentist also he told me i m having a hole. & done the X ray. In X ray report doc told 1/8 tooth is missing. The wisdom tooth is noted. There is a little horizontal bone loss suggesting early periodontal disease but no other bony abnormality is seen in the mandible or maxillae. What happen next now?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The broken tooth can be restored with root canal treatment and crown, if sufficient tooth structure is left. If the tooth structure is not sufficient, then the tooth has to be removed. Regarding the wisdom tooth, if there is no space for the tooth to erupt then it has to be removed. If sufficient space is there then we can remove the overlying gums to make way for the tooth to erupt.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
