I went to my dentist today, and it was not good news. I need a very, very expensive root canal. He did give my an alternative option, which is to have it removed completely. The tooth is way in the back, so a gap wouldn't be visible if I had the said tooth was removed. I'm not a vain person, and it wouldn't be visible, but I still have some reservations about having it removed.

Price for having a root canal: 4600 kr/ 817,34 USD/ 523,55 GBP.

My next appointment is in about month, so I have some time to give it some thought.

Chris I suggest removing it completely..Besides if its not going to be seen really than why get scared...You're really not vain so go for the latter option

I wouldn't have it removed. I wouldn't want a gap in my mouth, whether it's visible or not.

Have you considered a denture?

I have one for some visible teeth, take it out when I eat, its not that bad.

edit: I dont think a root canal is what I think it is.

Also get a second opinion

Unless you're in one of those countries without fancy healthcare, Im not sure how much opinions cost

I had to have a root canal filling recently, it only cost me £45 lol

Advice: get it removed, if it isn't seen then it shouldn't matter entirely.

My aunt's a dentist so I'd slap her.

I don't like her.
