Q. My top right molar snapped last year and my dentist bonded it back wit a filling – its starting to smell & bleeds when i floss. it hurts no and again but not too much!! my dentist wants to take it out but i really want to save it as i cant afford an implant what should i do?

A. It doesn’t sound like the tooth can be saved unless your dentist could try a post crown. It sounds like you’ll need to see him soon in case there is an infection developing.
