Root canal or getting the tooth pulled?

Question

k just one more question about root canals. i still don't even know if i have one, but of course i'm paranoid.

i'd much rather have the tooth pulled than have the root canal done.

it's my back right molar.. and i know that my teeth will adjust after this, but i have a bottom retainer on my front bottom teeth so will that stop them from moving around? if this question is totally dumb then just ignore me aha.

my wisdom teeth are already in, and they have room so i'm keeping them.

and i barely chew on the right side these days anyway..

Answer 1

Better to get a root canal than to pull, because your teeth are like an arch, and when you remove one, they all seem to start to fall out with it eventually

Answer 2

ohh and i heard people who get root canals eventually get them pulled anyway~?

----------

i heard the same thing, i also heard that ALL people who had heart, eye, kidney, lung, back, ovaries, foot and brain surgeries eventually died.

you can do what you please with your body and lose any part of it at any time but remember that you have only one set of everything and you need it all

its never too late to lose ... never , but once you lost it you can't get it back.

sharks can afford not to have root canals , the nature replaces their teeth. you are not a shark ...

View this opportunity as a personal challenge. you'll not feel anything once the area has been numbed by the special anaesthetic dentists can supply. think of how proud you'll be once the tooth is fixed and your root canal is just as it should be. good luck to you.save the tooth, and overcome this obviously unpleasant experience.

Answer 6

   You should always opt for saving your teeth and sometimes this means getting a root canal. You only get one set of teeth and you should do everything you can to keep them......wouldn't you mind if you had to lose one finger?......

    you should NOT be chewing only on one side of your mouth.  This may lead to uneven wear on the other side and since you are chewing only on the left, you may start getting more cavities on that side.  teeth are made to work as a unit, right and left sides.
