Will you be "going under" for the operation or will you be awake? (Or has that not been decided yet?)
But to answer your question I'm with Spunky on this one. Keep your teeth as long as possible!Comment

Have you ever had a root canal? Their a piece of cake. Its a molar so they will need to clean and pack four roots. A regular tooth only has one root but molars have four. A little novacaine and you wont feel a thing.Originally posted by goBigtime

How can you even consider getting it pulled? If a root canal is an option, it's your only option.
Why the fuck would they knock you out for a root canal? Your crazy.Originally posted by NickHimself

Sounds like you had a shitty dentist or not enough novacaine.Originally posted by boobmaster

I had a problem with the same tooth as you.
I put it off and I only went into my dentist with tears in my eyes the pain was so fucking bad despite gobbling pain killers.
He said he could save it with a root canal but I told him to yank it out.
10 seconds later I was pain free.
I wanted to hug the fucker I was soo happy.
Gonna get an implant some time to replace it.Comment

Get it pulled and replaced. If the tooth is all fucked up (must be for a root canal) it'll wind up cracking on you down the road anyway. And that's just a fucking pain in the ass. Same tooth, fucking up twice.
I'd only allow another root canal if I didn't plan on living long.Comment

Yank that bitch. They can grow new teeth in mice with some stem cell shit.. wont be long till they can do it in humans.
