I had both root canal and pulled tooth... a root canal in the second after the canine in the lower right side... I had a bad filling and it just bursted.. LOL... they did a quick "fix" that went bad, it got filled up with bacteria... so I had to have a root canal... I too would have had it pulled... I still think that...

it didnīt cost me as much maybe around 500 dlls... the whole root canal and crown thing... I had to go in several times as i had 3 roots instead of the normal 2 and had to use many many anaesthesia as it took a while to kick in...

few months later I had to go again becaue i had a wisdom molar grow and it was bothering me, results were I had no space so they pulled it...

since that day I kept thinking why didnīt I had the other one pulled...
