Discolored wisdom tooth and tooth decay

[stonepiano]

My question is about my wisdom teeth. For as long as I can remember, they have been slightly discovered. My dentist stated that he is not sure if they are decayed but he is unable to tell from the X-Ray. He wants to drill in to see if they are decayed.

Does it make sense that an X-Ray will not show decay?

I have no pain and they are not impacted.

Thanks,

Well, if your dentist do some cleaning on your tooth I am sure he/she going to figure out if your tooth is decay.

Sometimes the decay might not show up on xray. Wisdom teeth are bound to have problems if its not decay then its gum disease
