Root canal?!


Question:

Root canal?

my mom has a crack in her root canal, and has an infection that won't go away, it is in one of her molars. it has to be puled and she'll get a replacement one(fake tooth) that will be permanent, but might damage her mouth in the long run, and the infection won't go away if the tooth isn't pulled. the operation costs around $800-$1200 and we are fixing up a house that we will move into in mid june, is thereany other way to get rid of the infection? Please help!


Answers:

CRAZYDRMMER,
THERE IS NO WAY TO REPAIR A ROOT FRACTURE IN A TOOTH THAT HAS HAD A PREVIOUS ROOT CANAL. EXTRACTION IS THE ONLY REMEDY.
UNFORTUNATELY, ANTIBIOTICS WILL ONLY WORK FOR A SHORT TIME. THE CAUSE OF THE INFECTION, THE CRACKED TOOTH MUST BE REMOVED.
