Q.
Hi, I have decay deep under the mid left lower tooth caused by biting into food and it remaining trapped. An xray was taken showing the shadow. My dentist has stated that extraction is the only answer as it would be impossible to seal as it’s below the gum line and moisture would disolve any works. She suggests a denture. Implants are out of the question due to the expense. She has done excellent root canal work on the other side of my mouth so this work does not faze her. She said this would not be an option in this case. Can you suggest something? I am loath to remove a healthy tooth that I tend to bite on. I do not have any lower back teeth on that side so its important that I try to keep it. I am on anti biotics in the meantime. Thank you. Regards
