When I was young, over several years,....I opted to have several teeth pulled because of the expense of the alternative. I ended up regretting it alot. I had so many teeth pulled, I couldn't chew properly. It caught up with me. $15,000 later, I'm fine now.

I would try to save it if I were you. However, if it's the only tooth you ever plan to have pulled, go ahead. These days, the dentists try to save the teeth. At least mine does. Good luck.
