Part of my upper left molar came away during flossing
Q. Part of my upper left 7 molar came away during flossing. My dentist began a root canal and then gave up on it due to my having denticle blocking off the roots. She then left the practice. My new dentist wants to extract the tooth (which is very sensitive to heat and cold)The tooth is the last one next to a wisdom tooth, and I’m worried about losing it. I’ve signed up to do a PhD- and the fees mean I have little spare cash for an implant
A. Unfortunately the 2 options you appear to have are to have the tooth extracted or to be referred to a private specialist root canal dentist – they may not be able to successfully treat the tooth but they use a special microscope to try and negotiate past the blockages.
