Does wisdom tooth need filling when it is pulled out?

Wisdom teeth don't need filling when they are pulled out. Because wisdom teeth themselves are degenerate organs of human body, they gradually degenerate in the process of human evolution, and some people even have no wisdom teeth. At the same time, the position and function of wisdom teeth are different from other teeth, which has little effect on chewing and occlusal function, so there is usually no need to fill teeth after wisdom teeth are extracted.

However, if the second molar is decayed after wisdom teeth are extracted, local filling treatment is needed to protect the health of the second molar. If the periodontal pocket in the distal part of the mandibular second molar always exists after the extraction of wisdom teeth, which affects the health of teeth, some periodontal treatment may be needed to ensure the health of the mandibular second molar.
