Big hole in my tooth? What are my options?!


Question: Big hole in my tooth? What are my options?
I have a pretty big hole in my back tooth and I'm going to the dentist tomorrow so they can look at it.

So my question is, Will having my tooth pulled be my only opinion? Or is there something else they can do?

Answers:

It depends on a lot of things. Is there enough tooth to work with, and if so, how much tooth? Is it infected at all? Dentists can do a great deal with just a little bit. It may just need a typical filling or crown. If it's a little worse, a root canal (which is probably the worst dentist visit I've ever had) will save the tooth. An extraction would be significantly cheaper and easier to go through, but then you lose a tooth forever (unless you want a root-post and crown for around $1200+)



Unfortunately yes I believe so, but don't worry its like taking off a band-aid once it is out its out and it will hurt when they pull it out for a split second but after that it only is sore.



just wai tuntil the dentist and he'll give you a filling :) xx
