I really don't want to call, but I need to. My front tooth still has pain in the gums behind the tooth, after the root canal and apicoectomy. The tooth still has pain when touched or pressure is applied, even gently.
I know this means I need to get it extracted, but this one is harder than any other to accept since it is my front upper tooth.
I have started to call and have hung up several times. I am just not ready to set this in motion. This will be the third tooth extracted in less than a year, and the second implant I will need to get. I don't even want to think about the cost. I don't want to think about wearing a temporary flipper for months on end. Since I had so much bone loss from the abscess, and then had the apico, I can't get an implant right away...have to do bone grafting and wait.
