Q. I had a tooth come loose, a root canal was done in that area 23 years ago, and it was removed and decay was detected. It was cleaned out and it was recommended I look into an implant rather than a bridge. I would rather do neither since it is in a spot in my mouth(#29) that you cannot even see the area where the tooth is missing. Can’t I just not have anything done and be ok if I am willing to live with the gap in my back teeth area?????
