I've had a broken upper molar for a while now, went to the dentist 1.5 months ago, got on antibiotics, returning there tomorrow. Things took a turn for the worse. The pain returned much more severely, and today I woke up and the tooth broke down a little bit more. The back of the tooth is broken in half, and I can literally fit my tongue in between the parts without any problem. I do still feel a very tiny part of the tooth above the gum line (assuming my tongue is angled on the top. If I try to feel it using my tongue under the tooth, then the gum line covers that part).
Anyways, is this broken too much for a root canal? Am I gonna get an extraction (gonna go to the dentist tomorrow but only to schedule something with her assistant, since my dentist isn't there on Wednesdays)? Never had one before, don't know what to expect, very very very scared :/
