It is probably best that I just say: I had a root canal on a tooth that later needed to be extracted anyhow. But, as Pam said, try to keep your tooth. I have a bridge that isn't noticable, and STILL this area is the most sensitive in my mouth. I loved both my dentists and the staff at each place. One in Worcester, one here in Cinti.

I hear HORROR stories from people about their dentist. I say the same thing- change! There are great dental offices, and that can make such a world of difference. Most of my family (which is large) goes to the same dentist. My oldest brother went to high school with him, we often run into family members there, and it is always funny.

Good luck with your tooth.
