Hey everyone. I have a question about tooth extraction. I have a root canal that's gone bad because the filling fell out and I didn't have any money for a crown. The tooth has completely fallen apart and only the bottom part inside the gum remains. I have an appt tomorrow morning and at first I expected it to be simple. Just easy tooth extraction of the rest of it and be done. Now that I'm looking around online, I've seen that if they have no tooth to pull up with, that it'll require surgical extraction. Is that true?? Right below the gum line is still there, just the actual top part of the tooth is gone. And if it's surgical, do I HAVE to be put under with anesthesia?? I'm terrified of being put under and I really don't wanna do that. I wasn't worried about this appt and now I'm starting to
