I need some advice from ONLY a professional dentist or someone that
knows that field very very well. Or has had similar experience.
I have a #14 tooth (up top in back) that started very recently falling
apart. Went to dentist today, and they told me that it is infected and
affecting the nerve (which I can see myself in Xrays). So they want to
do a very expensive (even with ins) root canal. Then, I talk to a
friend who had a similar exp and opted to just have a lower molar
pulled instead of canal'd. And he's happy with it. Bottom line...i
know this is "an important tooth for chewing" (as the dentist's aide
said) but I do have the option to simply have it pulled instead and
save hundreds of dollars. Is it really worth the 1k to keep a #14?
Can someone give me advice please? Thanks a million.
Been there, done that, same tooth, same falling apart, about 6 months
ago. Wanted it pulled but shelled out the almost two grand for a root
canal and porclain fused white gold crown.
