It is better to get extracted ..if it is badly decayed..and mal aligned.
If it is in good alignment u can restore that tooth with cement or RCT depending on the extent of decay.

extraction is the best treatment for wisdom tooth, but to postpone for some time you can do salt water gargle 3 time a day for 1 wk..... along with analgesic ( pain killer), if needed for 3 days.

Hi...It is difficult to comment if the tooth can be saved or not since an x ray is required. Better to visit your nearby dentist for clear diagnosis.
