They may be able to save it by putting a cap or crown on it. You are lucky that it doesn't hurt. Hopefully you won't need a root canal, but they will know by taking an Xray of it, and testing you for hot and cold sensitivity. If they can't save the tooth, then yes, they will put it. Especially if it is a very back tooth. You can live without it. Although some may insist that you have a cap, or crown to replace it.

Should there be white spots on your gums after a tooth extraction?
After having teeth pulled, it is not uncommon for the gums in the extraction site to appear white or pale. This whitish or pale appearance is typically temporary and part of the normal healing process. Here are a few reasons why the gums may turn white after tooth extraction: Healing process: White gums are often a result of the normal healing process following a tooth extraction. During the initial stages of healing, blood flow to the area may be temporarily reduced, causing the gums to appear paler than usual. Blood clot formation: After a tooth extraction, a blood clot forms in the socket to protect the underlying bone and facilitate healing. This blood clot can sometimes appear white or whitish-yellow in color. Fibrin layer: As part of the healing process, a fibrin layer may develop over the extraction site. This layer can appear white and is composed of proteins involved in blood clotting. Sloughing of dead tissue: Following tooth extraction, the body may naturally shed dead tissue and cells as part of the healing process. This shedding can give the gums a white or whitish appearance. While these temporary white gums are generally considered normal, it's essential to monitor the healing process for any signs of infection or complications. If you experience severe pain, excessive bleeding, increasing swelling, persistent white patches, or other concerning symptoms, it is important to contact your dentist or oral surgeon for further evaluation and guidance. They will be able to assess the specific situation and provide appropriate advice or treatment if necessary.

How is a tooth pulled down into place when wearing braces?
Well they attach a bracket to the impacted tooth and then attach a chain to that bracket and then to your wire on your braces. Every time you go to the orthodontist, they remove a link in the chain and in before you know your tooth will break through the gum. I had this done about two years ago.
