I'm not too concerned about the pain during either procedure. I'm more concerned about long term viability of the proposed fix. Seems like people commonly have follow up infections on root canal teeth and end up getting them extracted anyway. I'm on the fence on which path I should choose.
Yeah that does happen. I've had root canals twice on 2 teeth. The only 2 teeth i've needed root canals on. I'd say definitely if it was a front tooth but no ones gonna notice a missing back molar
Yeah dentist yesterday took some xrays and after studying it she said yeah, so we'll need to get you in for a root canal on this. How's next Wednesday? And I said why don't you just pull it? And she looked at me like I had just called her a niggerfaggot. Looks like dentists push the root canal path and I'm trying to understand whether I want to be pushed in that direction or not.
we're talking about the very back molar right? Like if you get an inbtw tooth that would be a massive hassle and prob lead to a bridge
