The thing is there is actually no decay, only the abcess from what they told me, also i wouldn't really want to have it pulled as she is only 16, however i am concerned if they do the root canal, it does not work then we will have to find the money for a crown, which we just do not have. We are fortunate that the root canal is covered by our government dental health scheme, which covers most things until Melissa is 18 if she is still at school,but obviously crowns are not covered.,but like hubby said they might just want to do it and get some money,they still get paid the same.

I did some research online and found that is can often be mis-diagnosed, and that is is sometimes a gum problem not tooth, and also that root canals are often done when not necessary, this alone sent up red flags to me,yep i am hoping the second opinion is different,by that time the antibiotics will have been finished too, so here's hoping, i still might even go for a third opinion if need be.
