Hi
Thank you for posting your condition at Healthcare magic.

Regarding your condition, you have reported that your wisdom tooth is broken, hence it would require treatment.

The three treatment options available for your condition is

1. Extraction of the tooth. (removal of tooth)

2. Root Canal treatment (if the broken teeth has involved the pulp- pulp is the part where nerves and blood vessels are present)

3. Removal of decayed area and filling (if the broken teeth has not involved pulp)

Since you have opted not to get your teeth removed, either Root canal treatment or filling are the only options left for you.

Your dentist will be able to decide whether you require root canal treatment or mere filling is sufficient. However many times it would be very difficult to perform root canal treatment for reasons like poor accessibility, malpositioning etc.. In such case removal would be the best option

Hope I have answered your concerns

Regards
