Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / November 2004Root canal+crown or extraction?
I am facing either root canal plus a crown or extraction on tooth number 19. I have a total fear of both. How bad is it to be left without a tooth forever (age 39) compared to the agony of root canal? It was explained it would take about five visits for the r/c. I have no time, no patience, no cash and no guts. Pro's and con's for both? Thank you, Thomas Whoa!!!! Root canal treatment is one appointment. Come back to the average dental office two more times to get the crown put on. Come in to my office and get the root canal treatment and the crown in 2 1/2 hours (one day).

Most painful part is having the injections. > I am facing either root canal plus a crown or extraction on tooth > number 19. > I have a total fear of both.

Relax, take a deep breath, and visit your banker. Vaughn >> I am facing either root canal plus a crown or extraction on tooth >> number 19.

If there exists bacteria beyond the apex, the tooth can be sore or even occasionally very painful for a while .....
