hi
my age is 25
my lower right jaw,the third teeth from last(last -wisdom teeth) is failed from second root canal treatment( first root canal was not proper-not filled properly)..Its the tooth used for grinding the food and very important..
can u suggest me alternatives..without removing it(as i need to grind the food)..which is the best solution..?

I am afraid to use metalic clips or pieces.(solution at the replacement).as when i swallow with out knowing...then its dangerous...
 
First, have you spoken to the dentist who did the failed root canal? If so, has he offered to help?

Id say ask your dentist what he-she suggests you should do. Also, you can always go somewhere else for a second opinion.
 
You mentioned that it was not filled properly the first time. From what I know there is no other option to a Root Canal other then an extract of the tooth. If it is the same dentist who did both I would recommend getting a second opinion and having another professional carry out the procedure.
