Does anyone have any experience or opinion on this?
I have a tooth that had a root canal around 1.5 years ago. Stupidly I never got it crowned (please please please learn from my mistake).
The tooth is pretty broken. 1 wall is remaining with 1/4 of it broken below the gumline.
My dentist says the tooth is hopeless and must be extracted due to decay extending down the roots.
I was worried about having to get it pulled because so few tooth structure was left, but she says the issue is the decay.
I have severe anxiety/panic disorder. I'm willing to do anything/pay any amount of money to avoid extraction. It is just not something I can mentally/physically handle. (Don't want to be sedated, don't want to take pain pills, don't want to be awake, don't want to bleed, don't want to have a missing tooth for the rest of my life).
Through some obsessive google searches I've found a post on this forum saying all teeth that are not vertically root fractured can be saved if you really want them to be. Is this true?
I'm planning on getting a second opinion, but wondered if anyone could related or had advice?
