i have an infection in the root of two teeth

Q. I have an infection in the root of two teeth,one being a crown.i have been advised i will need to either have dentures or implants, can the infection not be cleared without losing the teeth?

A. It depends o the state of your teeth. If you have gum diease, bone loss and decay then the tooth probably doesn’t have much hope. If yu are unsure then the best thing to do is to have a second opinion with an endodntist so that they can tell you the prognosis of the teeth.
Kind regards
