Endodontics (root canal treatment)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
How should I decide whether to choose root canal treatment for a tooth or have it extracted? My second molar is a dead tooth and has a fairly large filling that needs to be replaced with composite. Should I choose root canal treatment or have the tooth extracted and make a bridge in its place?
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
To make the decision I would need to see an X-ray. If the prognosis for root canal treatment were good, it would certainly be worth preserving the tooth. The size of the filling is not related to the prognosis.
Have a nice day!
