It's the upper 'first molar' (2 teeth forward from your wisdom teeth)....

Root canal..I got my back one yanked and regret it to this day...you only have so many teeth..try to save them

Depends on how bad the tooth is.... too far gone extract... if not root canal

NickHimself34 · 07-14-2004, 07:13 PM

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!

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.

How can you even consider getting it pulled? If a root canal is an option, it's your only option.

Sounds like you had a shitty dentist or not enough novacaine.

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.

Yank it. My mom had a root canal done on one of her molars. Six months later, they ended up having to yank it anyway.

toddler · 07-14-2004, 09:26 PM

having all 4 wisdom teeth yanked friday (and 1 more that i ould get a root canal on, but elected to just have it yanked. Its basicly gone anyway).

GA, which means I've quit smoking since yesteraday. fucking hell

Steve · 07-14-2004, 09:27 PM

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.

Evil1 · 07-14-2004, 10:21 PM

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.
