A. Hi Kirsty, You are in the best hands of the doctors in the hospital. You need to trust their judgement. As it is the back tooth, the best option may to have it taken out. The doctors always have to let you know the risksof having the tooth out. One of these risks will always be nerve damage. Also, if you decide to leave the tooth as it is, you ae risking pain/abcess etc in the future.
