One dentist wants me to have a root canal, while another wants me to get it pull!


Question: One dentist wants me to have a root canal, while another wants me to get it pulled. Help please D:?
About 9 moths ago the filling for my cavity fell out, i was on vacation so i just ignored it. I know i should have gotten it looked at sooner but im always procrastinating, i waited until It started to bother me about month or so ago, i went to the dentist and he told me it was an abscess. He told me to take all the medication he gave me then he'd pull it. I took all the medicine and it still hasn't gone away. I went to another dentist to see what he has to say about it and he said since im still young doesn't want to pull it because it'd mess up the teeth above it, instead he wants to do a root canal then cap. I had a mild panic attack when he told me he wanted to do the root canal that day and he rescheduled, gave me a pill to take a few hours before the procedure then sent me home. I really don't feel comfortable with having the cap and root canal done, should i go ahead and do them or would pulling my tooth not be a bad idea? Also, if you have your tooth pulled while its abscessed does it hurt worse, or can you not feel the nerve?

Answers:

If I can afford, I would always go for root canal to save the tooth. Feels better with teeth.

my opinion



it is always wise to save a tooth. a pulled out tooth will never be back again !
