Q. hi there! I recently (about a month ago) had one single lower molar removed due to an infection, i took antibiotics and now everything is healed, i am 30 yrs old, should i get a bridge, implant, or just leave it alone? thanks!

A. It is always best to replace the tooth if at all possible. An implant is an independent tooth that stimulates the bone while a bridge ususally entails trimming down the adjacent teeth. Ask your dentist for more detailed advice
